The occurrence of n-Octyldimethylsilane is closely related to an organic framework in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
n-Octyldimethylsilane (CAS 40934-68-7), molecular formula C10H23Si and molecular weight 171.38 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to an organic framework, n-Octyldimethylsilane is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 171.38 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
CATO manufactures n-Octyldimethylsilane 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.
