1.2,3.4,5.6,10.11-Tetrabenzanthanthrene (CAS 188-00-1), molecular formula C36H18 and molecular weight 450.53 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Structurally, 1.2,3.4,5.6,10.11-Tetrabenzanthanthrene (C36H18) contains a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 28.0, corresponding to approximately 28 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 450.53 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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 manufactures 1.2,3.4,5.6,10.11-Tetrabenzanthanthrene 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.
