Chemical Structure

Chloroformic Acid CAS 463-73-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Chloroformic Acid is closely related to chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Chloroformic Acid (CAS 463-73-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula CHClO2 and a molecular weight of 80.47 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula CHClO2, Chloroformic Acid contains chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 80.47 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.

CATO manufactures Chloroformic 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.
