(1,3-Dicyclohexyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazol-2-ylidene)copper(III) chloride (CAS 855517-58-7), molecular formula C15H24ClCuN2 and molecular weight 331.36 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a salt form, a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, (1,3-Dicyclohexyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazol-2-ylidene)copper(III) chloride is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 331.36 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.
CATO manufactures (1,3-Dicyclohexyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazol-2-ylidene)copper(III) chloride 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.
