Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 201.18 g/mol gives 4-Nitro-1-naphthaldehyde distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
4-Nitro-1-naphthaldehyde (CAS 42758-54-3), molecular formula C11H7NO3 and molecular weight 201.18 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 4-Nitro-1-naphthaldehyde (C11H7NO3) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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), 4-Nitro-1-naphthaldehyde 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.
