Chemical Structure

Bis(L-histidinato)copper CAS 13870-80-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 217.69 g/mol gives Bis(L-histidinato)copper distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Bis(L-histidinato)copper (CAS 13870-80-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H8N3O2Cu and a molecular weight of 217.69 g/mol.

Bis(L-histidinato)copper (C6H8N3O2Cu) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

CATO manufactures Bis(L-histidinato)copper 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.
