Chemical Structure

1,3,4,7-Tetrachlorodibenzofuran CAS 70648-16-7 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO supplies 1,3,4,7-Tetrachlorodibenzofuran (CAS 70648-16-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H4Cl4O, MW 305.97 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 1,3,4,7-Tetrachlorodibenzofuran is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 305.97 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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
