Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 254.07 g/mol gives 5-iodosalicylicaldehyde distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
5-iodosalicylicaldehyde (CAS 1761-62-2), molecular formula C7H11IO2 and molecular weight 254.07 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Based on its molecular formula C7H11IO2, 5-iodosalicylicaldehyde contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 254.07 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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.
