The occurrence of 2,2',3,3',4,4'-Hexachlorodiphenyl Ether is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies 2,2',3,3',4,4'-Hexachlorodiphenyl Ether (CAS 71585-39-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H16Cl6O, MW 388.97 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Based on its molecular formula C12H16Cl6O, 2,2',3,3',4,4'-Hexachlorodiphenyl Ether contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 388.97 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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), 2,2',3,3',4,4'-Hexachlorodiphenyl 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.
