Product Information

• Name: 3,6-Dithia-1,8-octanediol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3,6-Dithia-1,8-octanediol is a coordination complex that contains four chloride ions and six water molecules. It is made up of two molecules of 3,6-dithia-1,8-octanediol coordinated with two diphenyl ethers. The molecule is planar with the two oxygen atoms of the hydroxyl group in one plane and the two carbon atoms in another plane. The hydrogen atom on the oxygen atom has an intramolecular bond to a hydrogen atom on the other oxygen atom. The molecule has a magnetic resonance spectrum that can be used for identification purposes because it is unique among other compounds. 3,6-Dithia-1,8-octanediol can react with sodium hydroxide solution to form a precipitate. This reaction can be used as an analytical chemistry technique to determine the concentration of chloride ions in plasma mass spectrometry samples.
