Chemical Structure

Tetrapropylammonium tetrafluoroborate CAS 338-38-5 chemical structure

Description

Tetrapropylammonium tetrafluoroborate (CAS 338-38-5), molecular formula C12H28NBF4 and molecular weight 273.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to fluorine substitution, Tetrapropylammonium tetrafluoroborate is typically white to off-white low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 273.17 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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 Tetrapropylammonium tetrafluoroborate 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.
