Chemical Structure

Pentafluoropropionic Acid CAS 422-64-0 chemical structure

Description

Pentafluoropropionic Acid (CAS 422-64-0), molecular formula C3HF5O2 and molecular weight 164.03 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, Pentafluoropropionic Acid is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 164.03 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.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures Pentafluoropropionic Acid 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.
