Chemical Structure

1,2,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin CAS 34816-53-0 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 1,2,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin.

1,2,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (CAS 34816-53-0), molecular formula C12H4Cl4O2 and molecular weight 321.97 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C12H4Cl4O2, 1,2,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 321.97 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

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.
