Chemical Structure

Anthracene-9,10-dinitrile CAS 1217-45-4 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

Anthracene-9,10-dinitrile (CAS 1217-45-4), molecular formula C16H22N2 and molecular weight 242.36 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Anthracene-9,10-dinitrile (C16H22N2) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

CATO manufactures Anthracene-9,10-dinitrile under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
