The occurrence of p-Sexiphenyl is closely related to a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies p-Sexiphenyl (CAS 4499-83-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C36H26, MW 458.59 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Structurally, p-Sexiphenyl (C36H26) contains a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 24.0, corresponding to approximately 24 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 458.59 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), p-Sexiphenyl 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.
