The occurrence of (5)Helicene is closely related to a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies (5)Helicene (CAS 188-52-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C22H14, MW 278.35 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Structurally, (5)Helicene (C22H14) contains a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 16.0, corresponding to approximately 16 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 278.35 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
CATO manufactures (5)Helicene 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.
