Chemical Structure

Ferrocenic acid CAS 1271-42-7 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 230.04 g/mol gives Ferrocenic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Ferrocenic acid (CAS 1271-42-7), molecular formula C6H5O2C5H5Fe and molecular weight 230.04 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Ferrocenic acid (C6H5O2C5H5Fe) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, 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).

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 Ferrocenic acid 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.
