Chemical Structure

Tetrabutylphosphonium CAS 15853-37-9 chemical structure

Description

Tetrabutylphosphonium (C16H36P) contains organophosphorus functionality. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

CATO supplies Tetrabutylphosphonium (CAS 15853-37-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H36P, MW 259.43 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Tetrabutylphosphonium 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.
