Chemical Structure

Heptafluoroisobutyric acid CAS 335-10-4 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Heptafluoroisobutyric acid (CAS 335-10-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C4HF7O2, MW 214.04 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, Heptafluoroisobutyric acid is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 214.04 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

CATO manufactures Heptafluoroisobutyric acid 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.
