Chemical Structure

N-Tetracontane CAS 4181-95-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of N-Tetracontane is closely related to an organic framework in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

N-Tetracontane (CAS 4181-95-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C40H82 and a molecular weight of 563.08 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C40H82, N-Tetracontane contains an organic framework; these features give the compound characteristic molecular-ion distribution patterns in mass spectrometry. The molecular weight of 563.08 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), N-Tetracontane 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.
