5-Iodo-2-(methylthio)thiophene-3-carboxylic acid (CAS 78395-05-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H5IO2S2 and a molecular weight of 300.14 g/mol.
Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 5-Iodo-2-(methylthio)thiophene-3-carboxylic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 300.14 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 5-Iodo-2-(methylthio)thiophene-3-carboxylic acid 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.
