Tetradecylphosphonic acid

Ref. 3D-EAA67175

Product Information

• Name: Tetradecylphosphonic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Tetradecylphosphonic acid is a quantum chemical that can be used as a model system for biological studies. Tetradecylphosphonic acid has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on the growth of cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. This compound shows no toxicity to healthy cells, unlike other quaternary ammonium salts. Tetradecylphosphonic acid has shown to have a high surface area, which makes it an ideal material for use as a semiconductor and light-emitting material. The synthesis method involves the reaction of ethylene diamine with phosphorous pentoxide at high temperature. The product is purified by vacuum distillation and recrystallization.
