Chemical Structure

Periodothieno[3,2-b]thiophene CAS 883107-42-4 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Periodothieno[3,2-b]thiophene.

Periodothieno[3,2-b]thiophene (CAS 883107-42-4), molecular formula C6I4S2 and molecular weight 643.81 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to sulfur-containing functionality, iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Periodothieno[3,2-b]thiophene is typically off-white to pale yellow amorphous powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 643.81 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
