Chemical Structure

1,6-Naphthalenedicarbonitrile, 97% CAS 46289-40-1 chemical structure

Description

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.

1,6-Naphthalenedicarbonitrile, 97% (CAS 46289-40-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H6N2 and a molecular weight of 178.19 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, 1,6-Naphthalenedicarbonitrile, 97% is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 178.19 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1,6-Naphthalenedicarbonitrile, 97% 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.
