Chemical Structure

2,3-Diphenylthiophene CAS 16939-12-1 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 236.33 g/mol gives 2,3-Diphenylthiophene distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2,3-Diphenylthiophene (CAS 16939-12-1), molecular formula C16H12S and molecular weight 236.33 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to sulfur-containing functionality, a polycyclic aromatic system, 2,3-Diphenylthiophene is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 236.33 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

CATO manufactures 2,3-Diphenylthiophene 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.
