Chemical Structure

1-Hexadecyl-3-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium tetrafluoroborate CAS 244193-64-4 chemical structure

Description

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.

1-Hexadecyl-3-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium tetrafluoroborate (CAS 244193-64-4), molecular formula C20H39N2BF4 and molecular weight 394.35 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

1-Hexadecyl-3-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium tetrafluoroborate (C20H39N2BF4) contains fluorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-Hexadecyl-3-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium tetrafluoroborate 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.
