Chemical Structure

Naphtho[2,3-α]pyrene CAS 196-42-9 chemical structure

Description

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.

Naphtho[2,3-α]pyrene (CAS 196-42-9), molecular formula C24H14 and molecular weight 302.37 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Naphtho[2,3-α]pyrene (C24H14) contains a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 18.0, corresponding to approximately 18 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 302.37 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
