Chemical Structure

Hexyltriphenylphosphonium bromide CAS 4762-26-9 chemical structure

Description

Hexyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (CAS 4762-26-9), molecular formula C24H28PBr and molecular weight 427.37 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Hexyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (C24H28PBr) contains organophosphorus functionality, bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. 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. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Hexyltriphenylphosphonium bromide 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.
