Chemical Structure

1,2,6,9-Tetramethyl-phenanthrene CAS 204256-39-3 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.

1,2,6,9-Tetramethyl-phenanthrene (CAS 204256-39-3), molecular formula C18H18 and molecular weight 234.34 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 1,2,6,9-Tetramethyl-phenanthrene (C18H18) contains a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 10.0, corresponding to approximately 10 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 234.34 g/mol, it falls into the medium-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 1,2,6,9-Tetramethyl-phenanthrene 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.
