Chemical Structure

1,2,3,6,7,8-hexachlorodibenzo[b,d]furan CAS 57117-44-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1,2,3,6,7,8-hexachlorodibenzo[b,d]furan is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 1,2,3,6,7,8-hexachlorodibenzo[b,d]furan (CAS 57117-44-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H2Cl6O, MW 374.86 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 1,2,3,6,7,8-hexachlorodibenzo[b,d]furan is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 374.86 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).
