The occurrence of Chromium(III) trichloride hexahydrate hexahydrate is closely related to chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
Chromium(III) trichloride hexahydrate hexahydrate (CAS 10060-12-5), molecular formula Cl3CrH2O and molecular weight 176.36 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Structurally, Chromium(III) trichloride hexahydrate hexahydrate (Cl3CrH2O) contains chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 0, corresponding to approximately 0 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 176.36 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Chromium(III) trichloride hexahydrate 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.
