Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 160.26 g/mol gives TCD monomer [Tetracyclo[6.2.1.13,6.02,7]dodec-4-ene] distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
TCD monomer [Tetracyclo[6.2.1.13,6.02,7]dodec-4-ene] (CAS 21635-90-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H16 and a molecular weight of 160.26 g/mol.
The molecular framework of TCD monomer [Tetracyclo[6.2.1.13,6.02,7]dodec-4-ene] (C12H16) is characterized by an aromatic ring system. 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 high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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), TCD monomer [Tetracyclo[6.2.1.13,6.02,7]dodec-4-ene] 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.
