Chemical Structure

3,6-Diiodobenzene-1,2-diol CAS 361525-84-0 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 3,6-Diiodobenzene-1,2-diol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 361.90 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

CATO supplies 3,6-Diiodobenzene-1,2-diol (CAS 361525-84-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H4I2O2, MW 361.90 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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.
