Certification of the elemental composition of the BCR reference materials No. 71, containing carbon, hydrogen, bromine, chlorine, nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur, and No. 73, containing carbon, hydrogen, bromine, chlorine, fluorine and nitrogen

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6666510
The procedure is described for the characterization of two types of halogen-containing materials, intended to serve as reference materials for organic elemental analysis. The aim was to certify to within 0.2% limits in relation to each element the C, H, Br, Cl, N, O and S content of BCR compound no. 71, consisting mainly of N-(4-bromophenyl)-N'-(2-chloro-4 nitrophenyl) thiourea, and similarly the C, H, Br, Cl, F and N content of BCR compound no. 73, consisting mainly of 1-(1-(4-bromophenyl-methyl)-4-piperidinyl)-5-chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-benzimidazole. Homogeneity of the materials was achieved by handling each material as a single batch in the final step of its preparation. The procedures used to characterize each element are listed and a statistical evaluation of the results is given.
