Based on its molecular formula C14H2F8O4, 2,2',3,3',5,5',6,6'-Octafluoro-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 386.15 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.
2,2',3,3',5,5',6,6'-Octafluoro-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid (CAS 5216-23-9), molecular formula C14H2F8O4 and molecular weight 386.15 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
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.
