Chemical Structure

2,2'-Bibenzofuran CAS 41014-29-3 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 234.25 g/mol gives 2,2'-Bibenzofuran distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2,2'-Bibenzofuran (CAS 41014-29-3), molecular formula C16H10O2 and molecular weight 234.25 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, 2,2'-Bibenzofuran is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 234.25 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures 2,2'-Bibenzofuran under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
