Chemical Structure

3,4'-Dichlorodiphenyl ether CAS 6842-62-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3,4'-Dichlorodiphenyl ether is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 3,4'-Dichlorodiphenyl ether (CAS 6842-62-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H8Cl2O, MW 239.10 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

3,4'-Dichlorodiphenyl ether (C12H8Cl2O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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), 3,4'-Dichlorodiphenyl ether 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.
