Chemical Structure

Bis(4-chlorophenyl)phosphine oxide CAS 15948-60-4 chemical structure

Description

Owing to organophosphorus functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Bis(4-chlorophenyl)phosphine oxide is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 271.08 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).

Bis(4-chlorophenyl)phosphine oxide (CAS 15948-60-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H9Cl2OP and a molecular weight of 271.08 g/mol.

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.
