Chemical Structure

Dieldrin CAS 60-57-1 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 380.91 g/mol gives Dieldrin distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Dieldrin (CAS 60-57-1), molecular formula C12H8Cl6O and molecular weight 380.91 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Dieldrin (C12H8Cl6O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 380.91 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), Dieldrin 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.
