2,2'-Diiodo-4,4',6,6'-tetramethyl-1,1'-biphenyl CAS 503178-35-6

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 462.11 g/mol gives 2,2'-Diiodo-4,4',6,6'-tetramethyl-1,1'-biphenyl distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2,2'-Diiodo-4,4',6,6'-tetramethyl-1,1'-biphenyl (CAS 503178-35-6), molecular formula C16H16I2 and molecular weight 462.11 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2,2'-Diiodo-4,4',6,6'-tetramethyl-1,1'-biphenyl (C16H16I2) is characterized by iodine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.

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.
