Chemical Structure

1,2,3,4-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin CAS 30746-58-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1,2,3,4-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 1,2,3,4-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (CAS 30746-58-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H4Cl4O2, MW 321.97 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 1,2,3,4-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 321.97 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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

CATO manufactures 1,2,3,4-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
