Chemical Structure

Iron (III) chloride hexahydrate CAS 10025-77-1 chemical structure

Description

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

Iron (III) chloride hexahydrate (CAS 10025-77-1), molecular formula Cl3FeH2O and molecular weight 180.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula Cl3FeH2O, Iron (III) chloride hexahydrate contains a salt form, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 180.21 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Iron (III) chloride hexahydrate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
