Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 206.28 g/mol gives 1,3-Dimethylphenanthrene distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 1,3-Dimethylphenanthrene (CAS 16664-45-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H14, MW 206.28 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Based on its molecular formula C16H14, 1,3-Dimethylphenanthrene contains a polycyclic aromatic system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 206.28 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.
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 1,3-Dimethylphenanthrene 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.
