Chemical Structure

Pcb No. 196 CAS 42740-50-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Pcb No. 196 is closely related to chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Pcb No. 196 (CAS 42740-50-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H2Cl8, MW 429.77 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Pcb No. 196 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 429.77 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

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

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.
