Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 374.86 g/mol gives 2,3,4,6,7,8-hexachlorodibenzo[b,d]furan distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 2,3,4,6,7,8-hexachlorodibenzo[b,d]furan (CAS 60851-34-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H2Cl6O, MW 374.86 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Structurally, 2,3,4,6,7,8-hexachlorodibenzo[b,d]furan (C12H2Cl6O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 374.86 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.
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.
