7721-01-9 Tantalum(V) chloride MFCD00011253 Tantalum chloride Tantalum chloride (TaCl5) Tantalum (V) chloride (CAS 7721-01-9), molecular formula Cl5Ta and molecular weight 358.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Structurally, 7721-01-9 Tantalum(V) chloride MFCD00011253 Tantalum chloride Tantalum chloride (TaCl5) Tantalum (V) chloride (Cl5Ta) contains chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 0, corresponding to approximately 0 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 358.21 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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.
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.
