Chemical Structure

Tetrabenz[a,c,h,j]anthracene CAS 215-11-2 chemical structure

Description

Tetrabenz[a,c,h,j]anthracene (CAS 215-11-2), molecular formula C30H18 and molecular weight 378.46 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Tetrabenz[a,c,h,j]anthracene (C30H18) contains a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 22.0, corresponding to approximately 22 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 378.46 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.

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

CATO manufactures Tetrabenz[a,c,h,j]anthracene 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.
