Chemical Structure

2,2'-Azobis(2-methylbutyronitrile) CAS 13472-08-7 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.

2,2'-Azobis(2-methylbutyronitrile) (CAS 13472-08-7), molecular formula C10H16N4 and molecular weight 192.26 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, 2,2'-Azobis(2-methylbutyronitrile) is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 192.26 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2,2'-Azobis(2-methylbutyronitrile) 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.
