Chemical Structure

p-Tolylphosphonic acid CAS 3366-72-1 chemical structure

Description

p-Tolylphosphonic acid (C7H9O3P) contains a phosphonate group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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).

p-Tolylphosphonic acid (CAS 3366-72-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H9O3P and a molecular weight of 172.12 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.

CATO manufactures p-Tolylphosphonic acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
