C12H21N2O3P

C12H21N2O3P is a molecular formula representing a single molecule that contains twelve carbon atoms, twenty-one hydrogen atoms, two nitrogen atoms, three oxygen atoms, and one phosphorus atom. The nominal molecular weight of this composition is approximately 272.29 g/mol.

Because a chemical formula specifies only the element counts and not how those atoms are connected, C12H21N2O3P can correspond to multiple constitutional isomers. Without additional information such as a systematic name, SMILES, InChI, or CAS number, no unique structure or set of properties can be assigned to the formula alone. In databases, this formula would be linked to a family of possible compounds rather than a single identified substance.

The combination of phosphorus and three oxygens with nitrogen atoms suggests the potential for motifs such as phosphoramide or phosphate-containing frameworks, but many distinct arrangements are compatible with the same formula. The actual physical and chemical properties—such as stability, polarity, melting and boiling points, and solubility—depend on the specific connectivity, stereochemistry, and substituents of the isomer.

In scholarly and database contexts, researchers distinguish among isomers using identifiers like IUPAC names, SMILES strings, InChIs, or CAS numbers. If a particular isomer with this formula is specified, a more precise discussion can cover its synthesis, reactivity, and possible applications. Absent that specification, C12H21N2O3P serves as a general representation of a phosphorus-containing organic molecule with the given elemental composition.
