Chemical Structure

1,6-Dichlorodibenzo-p-dioxin CAS 38178-38-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1,6-Dichlorodibenzo-p-dioxin is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 1,6-Dichlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (CAS 38178-38-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H6Cl2O2, MW 253.08 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 1,6-Dichlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (C12H6Cl2O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 253.08 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).

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 1,6-Dichlorodibenzo-p-dioxin 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.
