Chemical Structure

Thieno[3,2-b]thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic acid CAS 18646-81-6 chemical structure

Description

Thieno[3,2-b]thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (CAS 18646-81-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H4O4S2 and a molecular weight of 228.24 g/mol.

Structurally, Thieno[3,2-b]thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (C8H4O4S2) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 7.0, corresponding to approximately 7 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 228.24 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).

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.
