Chemical Structure

1-Methyldicyclopentadiene CAS 16327-42-7 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 146.23 g/mol gives 1-Methyldicyclopentadiene distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

1-Methyldicyclopentadiene (CAS 16327-42-7), molecular formula C11H14 and molecular weight 146.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C11H14, 1-Methyldicyclopentadiene contains an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 146.23 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-Methyldicyclopentadiene 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.
