Chemical Structure

2,2-Difluoroacetonitrile CAS 359-12-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2,2-Difluoroacetonitrile is closely related to a nitrile group, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 2,2-Difluoroacetonitrile (CAS 359-12-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C2HF2N, MW 77.03 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

2,2-Difluoroacetonitrile (C2HF2N) contains a nitrile group, fluorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2,2-Difluoroacetonitrile 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.
