Chemical Structure

4-Iodophenol CAS 540-38-5 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-Iodophenol meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.

4-Iodophenol (CAS 540-38-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H5IO and a molecular weight of 220.01 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 4-Iodophenol (C6H5IO) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
