Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 3-Methylsulfonyl-2,2',3',4',5,5'-hexachlorobiphenyl is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 438.97 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
CATO supplies 3-Methylsulfonyl-2,2',3',4',5,5'-hexachlorobiphenyl (CAS 104086-18-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H6Cl6O2S, MW 438.97 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
