5,6-Diaminopicolinonitrile (CAS 516481-68-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H6N4 and a molecular weight of 134.14 g/mol.
Owing to a nitrile group, an aromatic ring system, 5,6-Diaminopicolinonitrile is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 134.14 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).
As a certified reference material (CRM), 5,6-Diaminopicolinonitrile 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.
