Chemical Structure

3,4,5-Trichlorophthalic acid CAS 62268-15-9 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies 3,4,5-Trichlorophthalic acid (CAS 62268-15-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H3Cl3O4, MW 269.47 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 3,4,5-Trichlorophthalic acid (C8H3Cl3O4) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
