Chemical Structure

Bis(4-chlorophenyl)diselenide CAS 20541-49-5 chemical structure

Description

Owing to chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Bis(4-chlorophenyl)diselenide is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 381.02 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

CATO supplies Bis(4-chlorophenyl)diselenide (CAS 20541-49-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H8Cl2Se2, MW 381.02 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Bis(4-chlorophenyl)diselenide meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
