Product Information

• Name: 1,3-Propylenediphosphonic Acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1,3-Propylenediphosphonic acid is a coordination compound with the chemical formula [P(CH2CO2)3]. It is a homopolymer of phosphoric acid and has a high solubility in water. The optimum pH for this compound is 7. 1,3-Propylenediphosphonic acid has been used to synthesize nanocrystals that are semiconductors with optical properties that depend on the size of the crystal. These crystals have been found to be effective for use in optical systems and as magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents. Gadolinium-based MRI contrast agents are derived from 1,3-propylenediphosphonic acid. This compound can also be used as a substrate binding agent or fatty acid ligand in quantum chemistry calculations.
