Chemical Structure

Copper(II) Stearate CAS 660-60-6 chemical structure

Description

Copper(II) Stearate (CAS 660-60-6), molecular formula C18H35O2Cu and molecular weight 347.02 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Copper(II) Stearate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 347.02 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.

CATO manufactures Copper(II) Stearate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
