The occurrence of Lithium 3-carboxypropanoate is closely related to a carbohydrate-derived structure in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
Lithium 3-carboxypropanoate (CAS 17229-80-0), molecular formula C4H5O4Li and molecular weight 124.02 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a carbohydrate-derived structure, Lithium 3-carboxypropanoate is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 124.02 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
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.
