Chemical Structure

1,4-Phenylenebis(phosphonic acid) CAS 880-68-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1,4-Phenylenebis(phosphonic acid) is closely related to a carbohydrate-derived structure, a phosphate ester group in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 1,4-Phenylenebis(phosphonic acid) (CAS 880-68-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H8O6P2, MW 238.07 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 1,4-Phenylenebis(phosphonic acid) (C6H8O6P2) is characterized by a carbohydrate-derived structure, a phosphate ester group. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).

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.

CATO manufactures 1,4-Phenylenebis(phosphonic acid) under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
