The occurrence of 2,3,6,7-Tetrabromo-9,9,10,10-tetramethyl-9,10-dihydroanthracene is closely related to bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
2,3,6,7-Tetrabromo-9,9,10,10-tetramethyl-9,10-dihydroanthracene (CAS 1001080-74-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C18H16Br4 and a molecular weight of 551.94 g/mol.
2,3,6,7-Tetrabromo-9,9,10,10-tetramethyl-9,10-dihydroanthracene (C18H16Br4) contains bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 2,3,6,7-Tetrabromo-9,9,10,10-tetramethyl-9,10-dihydroanthracene meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
