Chemical Structure

Mesityltrimethylsilane CAS 2060-91-5 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C12H20Si, Mesityltrimethylsilane contains an organic framework; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 192.37 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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 supplies Mesityltrimethylsilane (CAS 2060-91-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H20Si, MW 192.37 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Mesityltrimethylsilane meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
