Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 196.99 g/mol gives 2-Bromo-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarbonitrile distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
2-Bromo-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarbonitrile (CAS 50847-09-1), molecular formula C5HBrN4 and molecular weight 196.99 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 2-Bromo-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarbonitrile (C5HBrN4) is characterized by a nitrile group, bromine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
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), 2-Bromo-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarbonitrile 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.
