Chemical Structure

Trinaphthylene CAS 196-62-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Trinaphthylene is closely related to a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Trinaphthylene (CAS 196-62-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C30H18, MW 378.46 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a polycyclic aromatic system, Trinaphthylene is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 378.46 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

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.
