Chemical Structure

Hexamethonium CAS 60-26-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Hexamethonium is closely related to an organic framework in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Hexamethonium (CAS 60-26-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H30N2, MW 202.38 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to an organic framework, Hexamethonium is typically white to off-white low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 202.38 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.

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.
