Chemical Structure

3,4,5-Trichloropyridine CAS 33216-52-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3,4,5-Trichloropyridine is closely related to a nitrile group, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 3,4,5-Trichloropyridine (CAS 33216-52-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H2Cl3N, MW 182.44 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 3,4,5-Trichloropyridine (C5H2Cl3N) contains a nitrile group, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 182.44 g/mol, it falls into the medium-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).

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

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.
