Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 256.34 g/mol gives 1-(2-Methyl-1H-inden-7-yl)naphthalene distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
1-(2-Methyl-1H-inden-7-yl)naphthalene (CAS 154380-68-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C20H16 and a molecular weight of 256.34 g/mol.
The molecular framework of 1-(2-Methyl-1H-inden-7-yl)naphthalene (C20H16) is characterized by a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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 1-(2-Methyl-1H-inden-7-yl)naphthalene 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.
