Chemical Structure

1,2,4,8-Tetrachlorodibenzofuran CAS 64126-87-0 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 1,2,4,8-Tetrachlorodibenzofuran (C12H4Cl4O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), 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).

1,2,4,8-Tetrachlorodibenzofuran (CAS 64126-87-0), molecular formula C12H4Cl4O and molecular weight 305.97 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.
