Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 418.40 g/mol gives 2,7-Diphenylbenzo[lmn][3,8]phenanthroline-1,3,6,8(2H,7H)-tetrone distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 2,7-Diphenylbenzo[lmn][3,8]phenanthroline-1,3,6,8(2H,7H)-tetrone (CAS 24259-89-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C26H14N2O4, MW 418.40 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2,7-Diphenylbenzo[lmn][3,8]phenanthroline-1,3,6,8(2H,7H)-tetrone is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 418.40 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).
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.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
