Chemical Structure

Tetrahexadecylammonium bromide CAS 139653-55-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Tetrahexadecylammonium bromide is closely related to bromine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Tetrahexadecylammonium bromide (CAS 139653-55-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C64H132NBr and a molecular weight of 995.67 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C64H132NBr, Tetrahexadecylammonium bromide contains bromine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic molecular-ion distribution patterns in mass spectrometry. The molecular weight of 995.67 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
