Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
bis(4-tert-butylphenyl)iodanium; hexafluoro-λ⁵-phosphanuide
EC Number:
620-341-4
Cas Number:
61358-25-6
Molecular formula:
C20H26F6IP
IUPAC Name:
bis(4-tert-butylphenyl)iodanium; hexafluoro-λ⁵-phosphanuide
Details on test material:
- Name of test material (as cited in study report): PF-6
- Physical state: white powder
- Analytical purity: 99.2 %
- Batch No.: 20101020
- Expiration date of the batch: 12 April 2012
- Storage condition of test material: In the dark, at room temperature

Results and discussion

Boiling point
Atm. press.:
101.3 kPa
Decomposition:
yes
Decomp. temp.:
ca. 226 °C
Remarks on result:
other: approximate onset temperature of decomposition

Any other information on results incl. tables

As a result of the low rate of enthalpy change during decomposition, the onset temperature can only be approximated.

As the test item decomposed, no value for boiling temperature could be determined.

 

After both experiments, the residue in the sample crucible was described as follows: dark brown.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Using differential scanning calorimetry, PF-6 was determined to decompose from approximately 226 °C (499 K) at 101.3 kPa. As the test item decomposed, no value for boiling temperature could be determined.
