Chemical Structure

(1,3-Phenylenebis(methylene))diphosphonic acid CAS 144052-40-4 chemical structure

Description

(1,3-Phenylenebis(methylene))diphosphonic acid (CAS 144052-40-4), molecular formula C8H12O6P2 and molecular weight 266.12 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a phosphate ester group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (1,3-Phenylenebis(methylene))diphosphonic acid is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 266.12 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (1,3-Phenylenebis(methylene))diphosphonic acid meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
