Chemical Structure

(+)-trans-Chlordane CAS 66514-87-2 chemical structure

Description

Owing to chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, (+)-trans-Chlordane is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 409.78 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

(+)-trans-Chlordane (CAS 66514-87-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H6Cl8 and a molecular weight of 409.78 g/mol.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (+)-trans-Chlordane meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
