Chemical Structure

4,4'-DDT CAS 50-29-3 chemical structure

Description

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.

4,4'-DDT (CAS 50-29-3), molecular formula C14H9Cl5 and molecular weight 354.49 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, 4,4'-DDT is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 354.49 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
