6-Bromo-8-nitrotetrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine CAS 16098-20-7 chemical structure

Description

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

CATO supplies 6-Bromo-8-nitrotetrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine (CAS 16098-20-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H2BrN5O2, MW 244.01 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, 6-Bromo-8-nitrotetrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 244.01 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.

CATO manufactures 6-Bromo-8-nitrotetrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine 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.
