Quality Control

Our Titanocene Bis(Trifluoromethanesulfonate) is manufactured under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high catalytic activity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including NMR, elemental analysis (EA), and HPLC, to verify identity, purity, and the absence of critical impurities. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting all relevant specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) to prevent decomposition. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents and strong bases.
