4-cyano-1-(4-nitrobenzyl)pyridinium tetrafluoroborate (CAS 252280-66-3), molecular formula C13H10N3O2BF4 and molecular weight 327.04 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, 4-cyano-1-(4-nitrobenzyl)pyridinium tetrafluoroborate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 327.04 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
CATO manufactures 4-cyano-1-(4-nitrobenzyl)pyridinium tetrafluoroborate 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.
