Sodium 2-chloro-5-nitrobenzenesulfinate (CAS 68683-43-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H3ClNO4SNa and a molecular weight of 243.59 g/mol.
Owing to a salt form, an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Sodium 2-chloro-5-nitrobenzenesulfinate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 243.59 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
As a certified reference material (CRM), Sodium 2-chloro-5-nitrobenzenesulfinate 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.
