Chemical Structure

4-Isopropyl-4-methyl-biphenyl CAS 204199-23-5 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies 4-Isopropyl-4-methyl-biphenyl (CAS 204199-23-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H18, MW 210.31 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a polycyclic aromatic system, 4-Isopropyl-4-methyl-biphenyl is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 210.31 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
