The occurrence of Bis(4-bromophenyl)phosphine oxide is closely related to organophosphorus functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies Bis(4-bromophenyl)phosphine oxide (CAS 15754-53-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H9Br2OP, MW 359.98 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Structurally, Bis(4-bromophenyl)phosphine oxide (C12H9Br2OP) contains organophosphorus functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 7.5, corresponding to approximately 7 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 359.98 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-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.
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.
