Chemical Structure

7-Chloro-1H-benzo[d]imidazole CAS 16931-35-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 7-Chloro-1H-benzo[d]imidazole is closely related to a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

7-Chloro-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (CAS 16931-35-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H5ClN2 and a molecular weight of 152.58 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 7-Chloro-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (C7H5ClN2) is characterized by a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
