Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 202.17 g/mol gives 1-(Trifluoromethyl)-1-indanol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 1-(Trifluoromethyl)-1-indanol (CAS 121692-27-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H9F3O, MW 202.17 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Based on its molecular formula C10H9F3O, 1-(Trifluoromethyl)-1-indanol contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 202.17 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-(Trifluoromethyl)-1-indanol 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.
