Chemical Structure

6-Nitro-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-4-carbonitrile CAS 1803898-53-4 chemical structure

Description

6-Nitro-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-4-carbonitrile (CAS 1803898-53-4), molecular formula C8H4N4O2 and molecular weight 188.14 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 6-Nitro-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-4-carbonitrile (C8H4N4O2) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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), 6-Nitro-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-4-carbonitrile 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.
