Chemical Structure

Terephthalic acid-2,2′-<SUP>13</SUP>C<SUB>2</SUB> CAS 121191-53-5 chemical structure

Description

Terephthalic acid-2,2′-<SUP>13</SUP>C<SUB>2</SUB> (CAS 121191-53-5), molecular formula C6[13C]2H6O4 and molecular weight 168.12 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Terephthalic acid-2,2′-<SUP>13</SUP>C<SUB>2</SUB> (C6[13C]2H6O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.
