Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, Potassiumbenzenesulfonate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 196.26 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).
CATO supplies Potassiumbenzenesulfonate (CAS 934-55-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H5O3SK, MW 196.26 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
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.
