Structurally, 9,9'-Biphenanthrene, 97% (C28H18) contains a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 20.0, corresponding to approximately 20 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 354.44 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-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.
9,9'-Biphenanthrene, 97% (CAS 20532-03-0), molecular formula C28H18 and molecular weight 354.44 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
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.
