Chemical Structure

Perfluorooctanoic acid-13C4 CAS 960315-48-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Perfluorooctanoic acid-13C4 is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Perfluorooctanoic acid-13C4 (CAS 960315-48-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C4[13C]4HF15O2 and a molecular weight of 418.04 g/mol.

Structurally, Perfluorooctanoic acid-13C4 (C4[13C]4HF15O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of -2.0, corresponding to approximately 0 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 418.04 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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.
