Chemical Structure

Chlorine-4,4′-DDT CAS 3563-45-9 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Chlorine-4,4′-DDT 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.

Chlorine-4,4′-DDT (CAS 3563-45-9), molecular formula C14H8Cl6 and molecular weight 388.93 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Chlorine-4,4′-DDT (C14H8Cl6) contains chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 388.93 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
