Chemical Structure

(2-Decyl)benzene CAS 4537-13-7 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), (2-Decyl)benzene 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.

(2-Decyl)benzene (CAS 4537-13-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H26 and a molecular weight of 218.38 g/mol.

Owing to an aromatic ring system, (2-Decyl)benzene is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 218.38 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
