4,8-Bis(5-(2-ethylhexyl)-4-hexylthiophen-2-yl)-2,6-diiodobenzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene (CAS 1642807-86-0), molecular formula C46H64I2S4 and molecular weight 999.07 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
4,8-Bis(5-(2-ethylhexyl)-4-hexylthiophen-2-yl)-2,6-diiodobenzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene (C46H64I2S4) contains sulfur-containing functionality, iodine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.
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.
