2,3,5,6-Tetraiodoterephthalic Acid CAS 7606-84-0 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 2,3,5,6-Tetraiodoterephthalic Acid (CAS 7606-84-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H2I4O4, MW 669.72 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2,3,5,6-Tetraiodoterephthalic Acid is typically off-white to pale yellow amorphous powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 669.72 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.

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 2,3,5,6-Tetraiodoterephthalic Acid 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.
