Chemical Structure

2,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)-1,4-dichlorobenzene CAS 320-55-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)-1,4-dichlorobenzene is closely related to fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)-1,4-dichlorobenzene (CAS 320-55-8), molecular formula C8H2Cl2F6 and molecular weight 283.00 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)-1,4-dichlorobenzene (C8H2Cl2F6) is characterized by fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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), 2,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)-1,4-dichlorobenzene 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.
