Chemical Structure

3-Methylfluoranthene CAS 1706-01-0 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C17H12, 3-Methylfluoranthene contains a polycyclic aromatic system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 216.28 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.

CATO supplies 3-Methylfluoranthene (CAS 1706-01-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C17H12, MW 216.28 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.

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