Features Of Bis(2,4,6-Trichlorophenyl)Oxalate

  1. Highly efficient chemiluminescent activator with intense blue-green emission in non-aqueous systems.

  2. Exceptional thermal and hydrolytic stability due to electron-withdrawing trichlorophenyl substituents.

  3. Low volatility and high melting point ensure safe handling and extended shelf life under ambient conditions.

  4. Consistent batch-to-batch performance validated by rigorous HPLC purity profiling (≥99.5% typical).

  5. Non-hygroscopic crystalline solid enabling precise gravimetric dosing in industrial formulations.

Typical Applications Of Bis(2,4,6-Trichlorophenyl)Oxalate

  1. Core component in solvent-based chemiluminescent emergency lighting devices (e.g., glow sticks, safety markers).

  2. Key energy-transfer agent in forensic luminol enhancement kits for latent blood detection.

  3. Stabilized activator in high-sensitivity analytical reagents for HPLC-CL and flow-injection chemiluminescence assays.

  4. Performance enhancer in specialty polymer additives for light-emitting composites and security inks.

  5. Reference standard in photometric calibration systems requiring reproducible, catalyst-free luminescence kinetics.

Bis(2,4,6-Trichlorophenyl)Oxalate – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for Bis(2,4,6-Trichlorophenyl)Oxalate?

A: The CAS number is 77732-40-2. This identifier is verified against the Chemical Abstracts Service Master File and used for regulatory documentation and SDS referencing.


Q2: What is the recommended concentration range when formulating chemiluminescent devices?

A: Typical working concentrations range from 0.5% to 5.0% w/v in organic solvent carriers; optimal intensity and duration are achieved at 2.0–3.5% w/v with hydrogen peroxide catalyst and fluorescent dye co-activators.


Q3: How does it compare to TCPO (Bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl) oxalate) and CPPO in terms of performance and safety?

A: Bis(2,4,6-Trichlorophenyl)oxalate is chemically identical to TCPO — “TCPO” is the widely accepted industry synonym. It offers higher thermal stability and lower water sensitivity than CPPO (bis(2,4,5-trichlorophenyl)oxalate), with comparable quantum yield but improved formulation robustness.


Q4: Is migration or extraction into food simulants a concern for packaging-related applications?

A: Not applicable for direct food contact use. Bis(2,4,6-Trichlorophenyl)oxalate is not approved under FDA 21 CFR or EU Regulation (EC) No 10/2011 for food-contact materials due to lack of migration data and structural persistence; it is strictly intended for closed-system industrial and diagnostic applications.
