Chemical Structure

Sodium 4-Hydroxybenzoate CAS 114-63-6 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Sodium 4-Hydroxybenzoate 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.

Sodium 4-Hydroxybenzoate (CAS 114-63-6), molecular formula C7H5O3Na and molecular weight 160.10 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Sodium 4-Hydroxybenzoate (C7H5O3Na) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.5, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 160.10 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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