Chemical Structure

Pentachloroacetone CAS 1768-31-6 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Pentachloroacetone is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 230.30 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

CATO supplies Pentachloroacetone (CAS 1768-31-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C3HCl5O, MW 230.30 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
