Chemical Structure

Bis(2-ethylphenyl)phosphine oxide CAS 1003879-42-2 chemical structure

Description

Owing to organophosphorus functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, Bis(2-ethylphenyl)phosphine oxide is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 258.30 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

CATO supplies Bis(2-ethylphenyl)phosphine oxide (CAS 1003879-42-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H19OP, MW 258.30 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
