Thank you for your feedback. The experimental properties are strictly numeric fields, meaning they cannot store characters like >. Since this makes the 300 degree melting point misleading, I've removed it from the page entirely. I have left the MP supplied by Oxford University Chemical Safety Data, as it appears to be correct (327 deg C).
