CAS 5137-70-2: Dodecylphosphonic acid
Description:Dodecylphosphonic acid (DPA) is an organophosphorus compound characterized by its long hydrophobic dodecyl chain and a phosphonic acid functional group. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its form and purity. DPA is known for its amphiphilic properties, which allow it to interact with both polar and nonpolar environments, making it useful in various applications, including as a surfactant, corrosion inhibitor, and in the formulation of nanomaterials. The molecule exhibits strong hydrogen bonding capabilities due to the presence of the phosphonic acid group, which enhances its solubility in polar solvents. Dodecylphosphonic acid is also utilized in the synthesis of phosphonic acid derivatives and as a ligand in coordination chemistry. Its stability and reactivity can be influenced by factors such as pH and temperature, and it is generally considered to have low toxicity. However, like many organophosphorus compounds, it should be handled with care to avoid potential environmental and health impacts.
