Chemical Structure

Methyltriphenylphosphonium bromide CAS 1779-49-3 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 357.23 g/mol gives Methyltriphenylphosphonium bromide distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Methyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (CAS 1779-49-3), molecular formula C19H18PBr and molecular weight 357.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C19H18PBr, Methyltriphenylphosphonium bromide contains organophosphorus functionality, bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 357.23 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
