Quality Control

Our 1,2-Bis(Dicyclohexylphosphino)Ethane Nickel(II) Chloride is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high catalytic activity. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR, elemental analysis (CHN), and HPLC to verify identity, purity, and the absence of deleterious impurities. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry place at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized and moisture-sensitive; prolonged exposure to air or humidity should be avoided to maintain catalytic efficacy.
