Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 494.29 g/mol gives Bis(4-bromophenyl)diphenylsilane distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies Bis(4-bromophenyl)diphenylsilane (CAS 18733-91-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C24H18Br2Si, MW 494.29 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of Bis(4-bromophenyl)diphenylsilane (C24H18Br2Si) is characterized by bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Bis(4-bromophenyl)diphenylsilane 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.
