other: GLP Compliant, guideline study, available as unpublished report, acceptable with restrictions
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range)
Guideline:
EU Method A.1 (Melting / Freezing Temperature)
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:

Carbonylhydrotris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium was determined to decompose from approximately 97 °C on heating. As the test item decomposed, no value for the melting temperature could be determined experimentally. Visual assessment performed using a metal block apparatus confirmed that the test item melted completely during the decomposition process and a black liquid with no remaining solid was observed at a temperature of 121 °C (394K).

Conclusions:
Carbonylhydrotris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium was determined to decompose from approximately 97 °C on heating. As the test item decomposed, no value for the melting temperature could be determined experimentally. Visual assessment performed using a metal block apparatus confirmed that the test item melted completely during the decomposition process and a black liquid with no remaining solid was observed at a temperature of 121 °C.
Executive summary:

This is a GLP compliant, guideline study which is considered suitable for use as the key study for this endpoint. Carbonylhydrotris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium was determined to decompose from approximately 97 °C on heating.

Description of key information

Key value for chemical safety assessment

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. Carbonylhydrotris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium was determined to decompose from approximately 97 °C on heating.
