Owing to a polycyclic aromatic system, 5,6,11,12-Tetrahydrodibenzo[a,e][8]annulene is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 208.30 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).
5,6,11,12-Tetrahydrodibenzo[a,e][8]annulene (CAS 1460-59-9), molecular formula C16H16 and molecular weight 208.30 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
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.
