Physical Properties

Molecular weight:416.5; Physical form:Black powder. Density:Bulk density c. 0.6 kg/l.; Melting point:Decomposes above 180 °C; Vapour pressure:Negligible at 20 °C; Partition coefficient(n-octanol and water):logP = -1.6; Solubility:In water 130 mg/l (room temperature). Soluble in organic solvents with high dielectric constant, e.g. chloroform, pyridine, acetonitrile, acetone.; Stability:Stable to storage in closed containers. Tends to decompose on exposure to moisture and heat, and on prolonged storage.;
