Chemical Structure

Dichlorobis(bipyridine)ruthenium CAS 15746-57-3 chemical structure

Description

Dichlorobis(bipyridine)ruthenium (CAS 15746-57-3), molecular formula C20H16Cl2N4Ru and molecular weight 484.34 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, Dichlorobis(bipyridine)ruthenium is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 484.34 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), Dichlorobis(bipyridine)ruthenium 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.
