Chemical Structure

3,4-Dihexylthiophene CAS 122107-04-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3,4-Dihexylthiophene is closely related to sulfur-containing functionality in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

3,4-Dihexylthiophene (CAS 122107-04-4), molecular formula C16H32S and molecular weight 256.49 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C16H32S, 3,4-Dihexylthiophene contains sulfur-containing functionality; these features give the compound characteristic molecular-ion distribution patterns in mass spectrometry. The molecular weight of 256.49 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3,4-Dihexylthiophene 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.
