Tetraethyl heptane-1,7-diylbis(phosphonate)
This product is a symmetric bis-phosphonate ester specifically featuring a C7 heptane backbone. The tetraethyl ester groups provide stability and controlled hydrolysis, while the bis-phosphonate moieties allow strong metal chelation and surface binding, making this compound useful as an intermediate in coordination chemistry, biomaterials, and advanced material science.
Key Features and Benefits:
-
Bis-Phosphonate Core: Strong affinity for metal ions and mineral surfaces.
-
Tetraethyl Ester Protection: Increases stability, allowing selective hydrolysis.
-
Heptane Spacer: Medium-chain backbone offering balanced spacing and flexibility.
-
High Purity: Ensures reliable performance in research and synthesis.
-
Versatile Utility: Useful in coordination, polymer, and surface chemistry.
Applications:
-
Coordination Chemistry: Serves as a precursor for metal-binding ligands and complexes.
-
Surface Functionalization: Anchors to oxides, metals, and nanoparticles.
-
Biomaterials: Potential for bone-targeting and mineral-binding after hydrolysis.
-
Advanced Materials: Crosslinking and structural modification in polymers and coatings.
Storage and Handling:
-
Storage: Store at –20 °C in a sealed, moisture-free container.
