Chemical Structure

Lithium citrate CAS 919-16-4 chemical structure

Description

Lithium citrate (CAS 919-16-4), molecular formula C6H5Li3O7 and molecular weight 209.92 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Lithium citrate (C6H5Li3O7) contains a carbohydrate-derived structure. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.5, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 209.92 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
