Chemical Structure

Bis(1-methyl-4-nitro-1H-imidazol-5-yl)sulfane CAS 13755-68-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Bis(1-methyl-4-nitro-1H-imidazol-5-yl)sulfane is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Bis(1-methyl-4-nitro-1H-imidazol-5-yl)sulfane (CAS 13755-68-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H8N6O4S, MW 284.25 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Bis(1-methyl-4-nitro-1H-imidazol-5-yl)sulfane is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 284.25 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
