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.
3,3'-Dioctyl-2,2'-bithiophene (CAS 138058-53-4), molecular formula C24H38S2 and molecular weight 390.69 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to sulfur-containing functionality, an aromatic ring system, 3,3'-Dioctyl-2,2'-bithiophene is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 390.69 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
