Chemical Structure

2,5-Bis(4-Bromophenyl)-p-xylene CAS 853234-55-6 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 416.15 g/mol gives 2,5-Bis(4-Bromophenyl)-p-xylene distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2,5-Bis(4-Bromophenyl)-p-xylene (CAS 853234-55-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C20H16Br2 and a molecular weight of 416.15 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 2,5-Bis(4-Bromophenyl)-p-xylene (C20H16Br2) is characterized by bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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 2,5-Bis(4-Bromophenyl)-p-xylene 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.
