Chemical Structure

Potassium naphthalene-2,6-dicarboxylate CAS 2666-06-0 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 253.27 g/mol gives Potassium naphthalene-2,6-dicarboxylate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Potassium naphthalene-2,6-dicarboxylate (CAS 2666-06-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H6O4K, MW 253.27 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Potassium naphthalene-2,6-dicarboxylate (C12H6O4K) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

CATO manufactures Potassium naphthalene-2,6-dicarboxylate 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.
