Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
2-Methyl-7-phenyl-1H-indene (CAS 153733-75-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H14 and a molecular weight of 206.28 g/mol.
Owing to a polycyclic aromatic system, 2-Methyl-7-phenyl-1H-indene is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 206.28 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Methyl-7-phenyl-1H-indene 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.
