Two assays were performed during the test and they complied with the accuracy criterion.

Assay No. 1 :

Gas used Nitrogen

Ventilation No

Crucible used Aluminium, 120 μL, with lid

Mass of test item 11.25 mg

Program Phase 1: Cooling phase from about 20 °C to -110 °C at 10 °C/min. Isotherm at about -110 °C for 10 min

Phase 2: Heating phase from -110 °C to 30 °C at 5 °C/min. Isotherm at 30 °C for 10 min

The melting point of this assay was -81.9 °C.

Assay No. 2 :

Gas used Nitrogen

Ventilation No

Crucible used Aluminium, 120 μL, with lid

Mass of test item 16.38 mg

Program Phase 1: Cooling phase from about 20 °C to -110 °C at 10 °C/min. Isotherm at about -110 °C for 10 min

Phase 2: Heating phase from -110 °C to 30 °C at 5 °C/min. Isotherm at 30 °C for 10 min.

The melting point of this assay was -82.0 °C.

The mean melting point of the test item was -82.0 °C ± 0.5 °C.

Conclusions:
The mean melting point of the test item was -82.0 °C ± 0.5 °C at atmospheric pressure.
Executive summary:

The melting point of trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride was determined according to the OECD 102 guideline and under GLP conditions.

The method used was differential scanning calorimetry.

The mean melting point of two measures was -82°C at atmospheric pressure.

Description of key information

One reliable key study scored as reliability 1 is available for this endpoint. The melting point of trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride was determined by differential scanning calorimetry to be -82°C at atmospheric pressure.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
-82 °C
