5-Methylbenz[a]anthracene-d14 (CAS 1795014-66-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C19D14 and a molecular weight of 256.40 g/mol.
The molecular framework of 5-Methylbenz[a]anthracene-d14 (C19D14) is characterized by deuterium isotope labeling, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).
As a certified reference material (CRM), 5-Methylbenz[a]anthracene-d14 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.
