Pyrene-1,3,6,8-tetracarbonitrile CAS 28496-11-9

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Pyrene-1,3,6,8-tetracarbonitrile.

CATO supplies Pyrene-1,3,6,8-tetracarbonitrile (CAS 28496-11-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C20H6N4, MW 302.29 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Pyrene-1,3,6,8-tetracarbonitrile (C20H6N4) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 20.0, corresponding to approximately 20 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 302.29 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-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.

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.
