Chemical Structure

Ferrous chloride tetrahydrate CAS 13478-10-9 chemical structure

Description

Ferrous chloride tetrahydrate (CAS 13478-10-9), molecular formula Cl2FeH2O and molecular weight 144.76 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Ferrous chloride tetrahydrate (Cl2FeH2O) contains a salt form, 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 144.76 g/mol, it falls into the low-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 Ferrous chloride tetrahydrate 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.
