Chemical Structure

9H-xanthene-2-carboxylic acid CAS 40274-68-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 9H-xanthene-2-carboxylic acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

9H-xanthene-2-carboxylic acid (CAS 40274-68-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C14H10O3 and a molecular weight of 226.23 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C14H10O3, 9H-xanthene-2-carboxylic acid contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 226.23 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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), 9H-xanthene-2-carboxylic acid 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.
