Chemical Structure

2,7-Dimethylbenzo[lmn][3,8]phenanthroline-2,7-diium tetrafluoroborate CAS 21178-14-3 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures 2,7-Dimethylbenzo[lmn][3,8]phenanthroline-2,7-diium tetrafluoroborate 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.

2,7-Dimethylbenzo[lmn][3,8]phenanthroline-2,7-diium tetrafluoroborate (CAS 21178-14-3), molecular formula C16H14N2BF4 and molecular weight 321.10 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2,7-Dimethylbenzo[lmn][3,8]phenanthroline-2,7-diium tetrafluoroborate (C16H14N2BF4) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
