Chemical Structure

2-(Pyren-1-ylmethylene)malononitrile CAS 27287-82-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(Pyren-1-ylmethylene)malononitrile is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-(Pyren-1-ylmethylene)malononitrile (CAS 27287-82-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C20H10N2 and a molecular weight of 278.31 g/mol.

Structurally, 2-(Pyren-1-ylmethylene)malononitrile (C20H10N2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 17.0, corresponding to approximately 17 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 278.31 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(Pyren-1-ylmethylene)malononitrile 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.
