Chemical Structure

Iron(II) chloride xhydrate CAS 23838-02-0 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Iron(II) chloride xhydrate.

Iron(II) chloride xhydrate (CAS 23838-02-0), molecular formula Cl2FeH2O and molecular weight 144.76 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Iron(II) chloride xhydrate (Cl2FeH2O) contains a salt form, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 0, corresponding to approximately 0 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 144.76 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

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.
