Chemical Structure

1,2,7,8-Tetrabromodibenzofuran CAS 84761-80-8 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 1,2,7,8-Tetrabromodibenzofuran is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 483.78 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

1,2,7,8-Tetrabromodibenzofuran (CAS 84761-80-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H4Br4O and a molecular weight of 483.78 g/mol.

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 1,2,7,8-Tetrabromodibenzofuran 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.
