Chemical Structure

1-Ethylpyrene CAS 17088-22-1 chemical structure

Description

1-Ethylpyrene (CAS 17088-22-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C18H14 and a molecular weight of 230.30 g/mol.

Structurally, 1-Ethylpyrene (C18H14) contains a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 12.0, corresponding to approximately 12 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 230.30 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
