The occurrence of Ethynyl(triphenylphosphine)gold is closely related to organophosphorus functionality, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
Ethynyl(triphenylphosphine)gold (CAS 91071-10-2), molecular formula C20H16AuP and molecular weight 484.28 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Structurally, Ethynyl(triphenylphosphine)gold (C20H16AuP) contains organophosphorus functionality, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 13.0, corresponding to approximately 13 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 484.28 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-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).
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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethynyl(triphenylphosphine)gold 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.
