The occurrence of Fenchlorphos is closely related to a sulfone group, a phosphonate group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies Fenchlorphos (CAS 299-84-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H8Cl3O3PS, MW 321.55 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Structurally, Fenchlorphos (C8H8Cl3O3PS) contains a sulfone group, a phosphonate group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.5, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 321.55 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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.
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.
