α-Hydroxybenzylphosphinic Acid Sodium Salt (CAS 7492-18-4), molecular formula C7H9O3PNa and molecular weight 195.11 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Structurally, α-Hydroxybenzylphosphinic Acid Sodium Salt (C7H9O3PNa) contains a phosphonate group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.5, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 195.11 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
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), α-Hydroxybenzylphosphinic Acid Sodium Salt 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.
