Perfluoropentanesulfonic acid CAS 2706-91-4 chemical structure

Description

Perfluoropentanesulfonic acid (CAS 2706-91-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5HF11O3S and a molecular weight of 350.11 g/mol.

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, Perfluoropentanesulfonic acid is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 350.11 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Perfluoropentanesulfonic acid 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.
