Chemical Structure

Perfluoroethanesulfonic acid, potassium salt CAS 2837-92-5 chemical structure

Description

Perfluoroethanesulfonic acid, potassium salt (CAS 2837-92-5), molecular formula C2HF5O3SK and molecular weight 239.18 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, Perfluoroethanesulfonic acid, potassium salt is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 239.18 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), Perfluoroethanesulfonic acid, potassium salt 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.
