Potassium Oxonate (CAS 2207-75-2), molecular formula C4H2N3O4K and molecular weight 195.18 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Based on its molecular formula C4H2N3O4K, Potassium Oxonate contains a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 195.18 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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).
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.
