CATO supplies 2-Iodothieno[2,3-b]thiophene (CAS 53020-10-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H3IS2, MW 266.12 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to sulfur-containing functionality, iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-Iodothieno[2,3-b]thiophene is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 266.12 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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.
