Quality Control

Every batch of our (1,5-Cyclooctadiene)(Pyridine)(Tricyclohexylphosphine)Iridium(I) Hexafluorophosphate is synthesized and handled under stringent inert atmosphere conditions to preserve its catalytic activity. We employ advanced analytical techniques including NMR, HPLC, and elemental analysis to ensure high purity and consistent performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and residual solvent levels is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C to maximize shelf-life. This material is hygroscopic and sensitive to oxidation; prolonged exposure to air or moisture will degrade its catalytic performance.
