The occurrence of Lithium 3-carboxy-5-sulfobenzoate is closely related to a carbohydrate-derived structure, a sulfone group in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
Lithium 3-carboxy-5-sulfobenzoate (CAS 46728-75-0), molecular formula C8H5O7SLi and molecular weight 252.12 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Lithium 3-carboxy-5-sulfobenzoate (C8H5O7SLi) contains a carbohydrate-derived structure, a sulfone group. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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).
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 Lithium 3-carboxy-5-sulfobenzoate 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.
