The occurrence of Lithium perfluoro(2,6-dimethyl-5-oxaheptane 2-oxide) is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
Lithium perfluoro(2,6-dimethyl-5-oxaheptane 2-oxide) (CAS 78740-39-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8F17O2Li and a molecular weight of 457.99 g/mol.
Lithium perfluoro(2,6-dimethyl-5-oxaheptane 2-oxide) (C8F17O2Li) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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 Lithium perfluoro(2,6-dimethyl-5-oxaheptane 2-oxide) 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.
