4-Fluorobenzyl thiocyanate (CAS 2740-87-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H6FNS and a molecular weight of 167.20 g/mol.
4-Fluorobenzyl thiocyanate (C8H6FNS) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, fluorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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), 4-Fluorobenzyl thiocyanate 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.
