Chemical Structure

Tetraethylethylenetetracarboxylate CAS 6174-95-4 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 316.30 g/mol gives Tetraethylethylenetetracarboxylate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Tetraethylethylenetetracarboxylate (CAS 6174-95-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C14H20O8 and a molecular weight of 316.30 g/mol.

Structurally, Tetraethylethylenetetracarboxylate (C14H20O8) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 316.30 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Tetraethylethylenetetracarboxylate 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.
