Chemical Structure

9,10-Bis(bromomethyl)anthracene CAS 34373-96-1 chemical structure

Description

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.

9,10-Bis(bromomethyl)anthracene (CAS 34373-96-1), molecular formula C16H12Br2 and molecular weight 364.07 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

9,10-Bis(bromomethyl)anthracene (C16H12Br2) contains bromine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; 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.
