The occurrence of 2,4-Diiodo-6-nitrophenol is closely related to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies 2,4-Diiodo-6-nitrophenol (CAS 20294-48-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H3I2NO3, MW 390.90 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of 2,4-Diiodo-6-nitrophenol (C6H3I2NO3) is characterized by an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
