Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 303.23 g/mol gives 11,12-Dichloro-9,10-dimethyl-9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracene distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 11,12-Dichloro-9,10-dimethyl-9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracene (CAS 116596-89-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18H16Cl2, MW 303.23 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, 11,12-Dichloro-9,10-dimethyl-9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracene is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 303.23 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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), 11,12-Dichloro-9,10-dimethyl-9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracene 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.
