Chemical Structure

(1,4-Phenylenebis(methylene))diphosphonic acid CAS 4546-06-9 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.

CATO supplies (1,4-Phenylenebis(methylene))diphosphonic acid (CAS 4546-06-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H12O6P2, MW 266.12 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a phosphate ester group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (1,4-Phenylenebis(methylene))diphosphonic acid is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 266.12 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

CATO manufactures (1,4-Phenylenebis(methylene))diphosphonic 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.
