Chemical Structure

6-Nitro-2-(pyridin-2-yl)-1h-benzo[d]imidazole CAS 51759-60-5 chemical structure

Description

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 6-Nitro-2-(pyridin-2-yl)-1h-benzo[d]imidazole is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 240.22 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).

6-Nitro-2-(pyridin-2-yl)-1h-benzo[d]imidazole (CAS 51759-60-5), molecular formula C12H8N4O2 and molecular weight 240.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
