CATO supplies 3,4-Dibromopyridine (CAS 13534-90-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H3Br2N, MW 236.89 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Based on its molecular formula C5H3Br2N, 3,4-Dibromopyridine contains a nitrile group, bromine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 236.89 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
