Chemical Structure

3-Cyanbenzylcyanide CAS 16532-78-8 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 142.16 g/mol gives 3-Cyanbenzylcyanide distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

3-Cyanbenzylcyanide (CAS 16532-78-8), molecular formula C9H6N2 and molecular weight 142.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, 3-Cyanbenzylcyanide is typically pale yellow to yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 142.16 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).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-Cyanbenzylcyanide 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.
