3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)chlorobenzene (CAS 328-72-3), molecular formula C8H3ClF6 and molecular weight 248.55 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Based on its molecular formula C8H3ClF6, 3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)chlorobenzene contains fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 248.55 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)chlorobenzene 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.
