Chemical Structure

Octamethyl-POSS CAS 17865-85-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 536.95 g/mol gives Octamethyl-POSS distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Octamethyl-POSS (CAS 17865-85-9), molecular formula C8H24O12Si8 and molecular weight 536.95 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carbohydrate-derived structure, Octamethyl-POSS is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 536.95 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

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.
