Tetrachloro-[1,1']bipyrrolyl-2,5,2',5'-tetraone, also known as TCPO, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C8H2Cl4N2O4. It is a yellow crystalline solid that is soluble in organic solvents. TCPO is primarily used as a photoinitiator in the polymerization of various monomers, particularly in the production of dental composites and adhesives. It works by absorbing light energy and generating free radicals, which then initiate the polymerization process. The compound is also known for its stability, low toxicity, and high efficiency in initiating polymerization reactions.
The CAS Registry Mumber 6903-91-9 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 6,9,0 and 3 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 9 and 1 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 6903-91: (6*6)+(5*9)+(4*0)+(3*3)+(2*9)+(1*1)=109 109 % 10 = 9 So 6903-91-9 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
