The occurrence of Cyclopentadienyl(octylcyclopentadienyl)-iron is closely related to a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
Cyclopentadienyl(octylcyclopentadienyl)-iron (CAS 51889-44-2), molecular formula C13H17C5Fe and molecular weight 289.18 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Cyclopentadienyl(octylcyclopentadienyl)-iron (C13H17C5Fe) contains a polycyclic aromatic system. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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), Cyclopentadienyl(octylcyclopentadienyl)-iron 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.
