Chemical Structure

Cyclohexane-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexacarboxylic acid CAS 2216-84-4 chemical structure

Description

Cyclohexane-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexacarboxylic acid (C12H12O12) contains a carbohydrate-derived structure. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
