CAS 4671-75-4: Tetradecylphosphonic acid
Description:Tetradecylphosphonic acid is an organophosphorus compound characterized by its long hydrophobic tetradecyl chain and a phosphonic acid functional group. This substance typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its form and temperature. It is known for its amphiphilic properties, which allow it to interact with both hydrophobic and hydrophilic environments, making it useful in various applications, including surface modification and as a surfactant. Tetradecylphosphonic acid exhibits good thermal stability and can form self-assembled monolayers on various substrates, enhancing their properties. Additionally, it is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its long hydrocarbon chain. The compound is often utilized in the synthesis of phosphonic acid derivatives and in the development of functional materials, including catalysts and corrosion inhibitors. Safety data indicates that, like many organophosphorus compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks upon exposure.
