Chemical Structure

Bis(pentafluorophenyl) oxalate CAS 16536-48-4 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 Bis(pentafluorophenyl) oxalate (CAS 16536-48-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14F10O4, MW 422.13 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of Bis(pentafluorophenyl) oxalate (C14F10O4) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

As a certified reference material (CRM), Bis(pentafluorophenyl) oxalate 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.
