Chemical Structure

Toxaphene CAS 8001-35-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Toxaphene is closely related to chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Toxaphene (CAS 8001-35-2), molecular formula C10H8Cl8 and molecular weight 411.79 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C10H8Cl8, Toxaphene contains chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 411.79 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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 Toxaphene 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.
