Chemical Structure

Osmium hexachloride CAS 12125-08-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Osmium hexachloride is closely related to chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Osmium hexachloride (CAS 12125-08-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula Cl6OsH4N, MW 420.97 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Osmium hexachloride (Cl6OsH4N) 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 420.97 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-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.

CATO manufactures Osmium hexachloride 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.
