The occurrence of Tetrabutylammonium is closely related to an organic framework in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
Tetrabutylammonium (CAS 10549-76-5), molecular formula C16H36N and molecular weight 242.46 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of Tetrabutylammonium (C16H36N) is characterized by an organic framework. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
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.
