Chemical Structure

2,5-Dihydroxy-1,4-benzenediphosphonic acid CAS 91633-16-8 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a carbohydrate-derived structure, a phosphate ester group, 2,5-Dihydroxy-1,4-benzenediphosphonic acid is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 270.07 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

2,5-Dihydroxy-1,4-benzenediphosphonic acid (CAS 91633-16-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H8O8P2 and a molecular weight of 270.07 g/mol.

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.
