Chemical Structure

4,5,6,7-Tetrachloro-1H-1,2,3-benzotriazole CAS 2338-10-5 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 4,5,6,7-Tetrachloro-1H-1,2,3-benzotriazole (CAS 2338-10-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6HCl4N3, MW 256.90 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 4,5,6,7-Tetrachloro-1H-1,2,3-benzotriazole is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 256.90 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

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), 4,5,6,7-Tetrachloro-1H-1,2,3-benzotriazole 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.
