Chemical Structure

Chloro[tris(4-chlorophenyl)phosphine]gold CAS 65295-04-7 chemical structure

Description

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.

Chloro[tris(4-chlorophenyl)phosphine]gold (CAS 65295-04-7), molecular formula C18H12AuCl4P and molecular weight 598.04 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to organophosphorus functionality, chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, Chloro[tris(4-chlorophenyl)phosphine]gold is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 598.04 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.

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.
