m-PEG6-(CH2)8-phosphonic acid, CAS 2028284-71-9, is a versatile compound used in surface science and bioconjugation. It includes three main components:
- m-PEG6: This segment consists of a monomethyl ether polyethylene glycol chain with six ethylene glycol units. It enhances water solubility, reduces nonspecific binding, and increases biocompatibility, making it ideal for biological and medical applications.
- (CH2)8 Spacer: The octamethylene chain acts as a flexible linker. It creates distance between the PEG chain and the reactive phosphonic acid group, allowing more effective surface coverage and binding. This flexibility also helps maintain the molecule’s orientation when attached to surfaces.
- Phosphonic Acid Group: The phosphonic acid moiety provides strong affinity for metal oxide surfaces such as titanium, aluminum, and zirconium. It forms robust bonds, making it suitable for surface modification, stabilization, and functionalization.
Researchers commonly use m-PEG6-(CH2)8-phosphonic acid in fields like nanotechnology, biomaterials, and drug delivery. It helps improve surface properties, enables specific molecular interactions, and provides a stable platform for further functionalization.
