1,2-Bis(4-iodophenyl)ethane-1,2-dione (CAS 65699-84-5), molecular formula C14H8I2O2 and molecular weight 462.02 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Structurally, 1,2-Bis(4-iodophenyl)ethane-1,2-dione (C14H8I2O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 10.0, corresponding to approximately 10 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 462.02 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
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.
