The occurrence of 2,2',3,3',5,5',6,6'-Octafluoro-1,1'-biphenyl is closely related to fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
2,2',3,3',5,5',6,6'-Octafluoro-1,1'-biphenyl (CAS 3883-86-1), molecular formula C12H2F8 and molecular weight 298.13 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Structurally, 2,2',3,3',5,5',6,6'-Octafluoro-1,1'-biphenyl (C12H2F8) contains fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring 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 298.13 g/mol, it falls into the medium-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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 2,2',3,3',5,5',6,6'-Octafluoro-1,1'-biphenyl 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.
