5-Bromo-6-nitro-1,2-dihydroacenaphthylene (CAS 4889-63-8), molecular formula C12H8BrNO2 and molecular weight 278.10 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 5-Bromo-6-nitro-1,2-dihydroacenaphthylene (C12H8BrNO2) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. 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. 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), 5-Bromo-6-nitro-1,2-dihydroacenaphthylene 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.
