Chemical Structure

3-Methylsulfonyl-2,2',5,5'-tetrachlorobiphenyl CAS 60640-54-2 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 3-Methylsulfonyl-2,2',5,5'-tetrachlorobiphenyl is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 370.08 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).

3-Methylsulfonyl-2,2',5,5'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (CAS 60640-54-2), molecular formula C13H8Cl4O2S and molecular weight 370.08 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
