Chemical Structure

alpha,alpha',2,3,5,6-Hexachloro-p-xylene CAS 1079-17-0 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 312.84 g/mol gives alpha,alpha',2,3,5,6-Hexachloro-p-xylene distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

alpha,alpha',2,3,5,6-Hexachloro-p-xylene (CAS 1079-17-0), molecular formula C8H4Cl6 and molecular weight 312.84 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of alpha,alpha',2,3,5,6-Hexachloro-p-xylene (C8H4Cl6) is characterized by chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures alpha,alpha',2,3,5,6-Hexachloro-p-xylene under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
