Chemical Structure

Pentabromoethane CAS 75-95-6 chemical structure

Description

Pentabromoethane (CAS 75-95-6), molecular formula C2HBr5 and molecular weight 424.55 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C2HBr5, Pentabromoethane contains bromine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic molecular-ion distribution patterns in mass spectrometry. The molecular weight of 424.55 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.

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

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.
