Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 185.51 g/mol gives 3-Chloro-2,4,5,6-tetrafluoropyridine distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
3-Chloro-2,4,5,6-tetrafluoropyridine (CAS 1735-84-8), molecular formula C5ClF4N and molecular weight 185.51 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
3-Chloro-2,4,5,6-tetrafluoropyridine (C5ClF4N) contains a nitrile group, fluorine/chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
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.
