Chemical Structure

(4-Fluorophenyl)(3-nitrophenyl)methanone CAS 16574-53-1 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, (4-Fluorophenyl)(3-nitrophenyl)methanone is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 245.21 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).

CATO supplies (4-Fluorophenyl)(3-nitrophenyl)methanone (CAS 16574-53-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H8FNO3, MW 245.21 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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 (4-Fluorophenyl)(3-nitrophenyl)methanone 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.
