Chemical Structure

Mercury(II) iodate CAS 7783-32-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Mercury(II) iodate is closely related to iodine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Mercury(II) iodate (CAS 7783-32-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula HgI2O6, MW 550.40 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to iodine substitution, Mercury(II) iodate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 550.40 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.

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), Mercury(II) iodate 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.
