Chemical Structure

Butane-1,4-diylbis(triphenylphosphonium) bromide CAS 15546-42-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Butane-1,4-diylbis(triphenylphosphonium) bromide is closely related to organophosphorus functionality, bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Butane-1,4-diylbis(triphenylphosphonium) bromide (CAS 15546-42-6), molecular formula C40H38P2Br and molecular weight 660.60 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Butane-1,4-diylbis(triphenylphosphonium) bromide (C40H38P2Br) contains organophosphorus functionality, bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 21.5, corresponding to approximately 21 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 660.60 g/mol, it falls into the high-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
