Chemical Structure

Tetraethylammonium Chloride CAS 56-34-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Tetraethylammonium Chloride is closely related to chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Tetraethylammonium Chloride (CAS 56-34-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H20NCl and a molecular weight of 165.70 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Tetraethylammonium Chloride (C8H20NCl) is characterized by chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
