Chloroform-d (Deuterochloroform) is a deuterated solvent widely used in NMR spectroscopy for its ability to provide clear, high-resolution spectra without interfering with hydrogen signals. It is also employed in analytical chemistry and as a reaction medium in organic synthesis. This stable, colorless liquid has a CAS number of 865-49-6, with the molecular formula CDCl3 and a molecular weight of 120.38. It must be stored at ambient temperatures and handled with care, as it carries a "Danger" signal word due to its acute toxicity, suspected carcinogenicity, suspected reproductive toxicity and organ toxicity on prolonged or repeated exposure. Molekula supplies Chloroform-d from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.

Frequently asked questions
What is Chloroform-d (CDCl₃) commonly used for?
Chloroform-d is primarily used as a solvent for NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) spectroscopy due to its deuterium content, which provides a clean proton-free background for sample analysis.
What is the chemical formula and molecular weight of Chloroform-d?
The formula is CDCl₃, and its molecular weight is 120.38 g/mol.
How should Chloroform-d be stored?
Store Chloroform-d at ambient temperature in a tightly sealed container, away from light and moisture, and under an inert atmosphere if long-term stability is required.
What purity grades of Chloroform-d does Molekula supply?
Molekula supplies NMR-grade Chloroform-d (CDCl₃) with ≥99.8% D-content and minimal proton impurities (typically <0.03% H).
Can Molekula supply Chloroform-d in bulk quantities?
Yes, Chloroform-d is available in bulk quantities (500 mL, 1 L, and larger volumes) upon request—contact us for custom packaging options.
What documentation is provided with an order of Chloroform-d?
