Chemical Structure

TETRANITROMETHANE CAS 509-14-8 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 196.03 g/mol gives TETRANITROMETHANE distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies TETRANITROMETHANE (CAS 509-14-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula CN4O8, MW 196.03 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula CN4O8, TETRANITROMETHANE contains an organic framework; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 196.03 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures TETRANITROMETHANE under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
