Chemical Structure

Zinc perchlorate tetrahydrate CAS 13637-61-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Zinc perchlorate tetrahydrate is closely related to a salt form, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Zinc perchlorate tetrahydrate (CAS 13637-61-1), molecular formula ClO4Zn and molecular weight 164.83 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a salt form, chlorine substitution, Zinc perchlorate tetrahydrate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 164.83 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Zinc perchlorate tetrahydrate 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.
