Chemical Structure

Octachlorocyclopentene CAS 706-78-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Octachlorocyclopentene is closely related to chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Octachlorocyclopentene (CAS 706-78-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5Cl8, MW 343.68 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Octachlorocyclopentene (C5Cl8) contains chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; 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.

CATO manufactures Octachlorocyclopentene 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.
