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.
Trichloro(hexadecyl)silane (CAS 5894-60-0), molecular formula C16H33Cl3Si and molecular weight 359.88 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Structurally, Trichloro(hexadecyl)silane (C16H33Cl3Si) contains chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of -1.0, corresponding to approximately 0 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 359.88 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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.
