Chemical Structure

1,1,2,2-Tetrafluoro-1,2-bis(4-fluorophenyl)ethane CAS 4100-99-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1,1,2,2-Tetrafluoro-1,2-bis(4-fluorophenyl)ethane is closely related to fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 1,1,2,2-Tetrafluoro-1,2-bis(4-fluorophenyl)ethane (CAS 4100-99-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H8F6, MW 290.20 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 1,1,2,2-Tetrafluoro-1,2-bis(4-fluorophenyl)ethane (C14H8F6) contains fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic 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 290.20 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
