Chemical Structure

Trichloronitromethane CAS 76-06-2 chemical structure

Description

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

CATO supplies Trichloronitromethane (CAS 76-06-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula CCl3NO2, MW 164.38 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Trichloronitromethane (CCl3NO2) contains chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 1.0, corresponding to approximately 1 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 164.38 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), Trichloronitromethane 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.
