Chemical Structure

Hexachlorocyclopentadiene CAS 77-47-4 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Hexachlorocyclopentadiene.

Hexachlorocyclopentadiene (CAS 77-47-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5Cl6 and a molecular weight of 272.77 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Hexachlorocyclopentadiene (C5Cl6) is characterized by chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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

CATO manufactures Hexachlorocyclopentadiene 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.
