Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 28 September 2010 to 25 November 2010
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: GLP Compliant, guideline study, available as unpublished report, acceptable with restrictions
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
- Deviations:
- no
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.1 (Melting / Freezing Temperature)
- Deviations:
- no
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) using the procedure specified in ASTM E537-86
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Type of method:
- other: method details not known but value taken from a peer-reviewed handbook
- Decomposition:
- yes
- Decomp. temp.:
- 204 °C
- Conclusions:
- Palladium (II) acetate decomposed from approximately 204 °C with no definitive signs of melting below 450°C.
- Executive summary:
This is a GLP compliant, guideline study which is considered suitable for use as the key study for this endpoint. Palladium (II) acetate decomposed from approximately 204 °C with no definitive signs of melting below 450°C.
Reference
| Thermal Event | Temperature (°C) | |
| Determination 1 | Determination 2 | |
| Approximate onset of exotherm | 203.7 | 204.42 |
| Extrapolated onset of exotherm | 250.89 | 249.34 |
| Exotherm peak temperature | 256.3 | 254.42 |
As a result of the low rate of enthalpy change during decomposition, the onset temperature can only be approximated. Similar thermographic profiles were obtained using air and nitrogen atmospheres; this indicates that the observed decomposition is probably thermal and not oxidative
Description of key information
Palladium (II) acetate decomposed from approximately 204°C with no definitive signs of melting below 450°C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
- 450 °C
Additional information
O’Connor and Woolley (2011) is a GLP compliant study following OECD TG 102, which is considered suitable for use as the key study for this endpoint. Palladium (II) acetate decomposed from approximately 204 °C with no definitive signs of melting below 450°C.
The CRC Handbook (Lide, 2008) is a reliable peer reviewed handbook and so can be considered reliable and suitable for use as a supporting study for this endpoint. The melting point of Palladium (II) acetate is 205°C.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
