The molecular framework of Dithieno[2,3-b:2',3'-d]thiophene (C8H4S3) is characterized by sulfur-containing functionality, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional 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).
CATO supplies Dithieno[2,3-b:2',3'-d]thiophene (CAS 236-65-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H4S3, MW 196.31 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), Dithieno[2,3-b:2',3'-d]thiophene 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.
