Chemical Structure

Anthra[2,1-b]thiophene CAS 227-56-5 chemical structure

Description

Anthra[2,1-b]thiophene (CAS 227-56-5), molecular formula C16H10S and molecular weight 234.32 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Anthra[2,1-b]thiophene (C16H10S) is characterized by sulfur-containing functionality, a polycyclic aromatic 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 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Anthra[2,1-b]thiophene 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.
