Cyanogen CAS 460-19-5 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Cyanogen 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.

Cyanogen (CAS 460-19-5), molecular formula C2N2 and molecular weight 52.03 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C2N2, Cyanogen contains a nitrile group; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 52.03 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
