The occurrence of 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9-Octachlorodibenzofuran is closely related to 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.
1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9-Octachlorodibenzofuran (CAS 39001-02-0), molecular formula C12Cl8O and molecular weight 443.75 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9-Octachlorodibenzofuran is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 443.75 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
