Quality Control

Our Chloro(2-Methylphenyl)Bis(Triphenylphosphine)Nickel(II) is produced and handled under stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high catalytic performance. Each lot is analyzed to confirm identity, purity, and the absence of deleterious impurities. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay (by titration or ICP), residual solvent content, and physical characteristics is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and R&D documentation.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. This compound is easily oxidized and light-sensitive; prolonged exposure to air or light will degrade its catalytic activity.
