Owing to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-Chloro-4-Nitrophenol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 173.55 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).
CATO supplies 2-Chloro-4-Nitrophenol (CAS 619-08-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H4ClNO3, MW 173.55 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
