Chemical Structure

Anthracene-1,2,9,10-tetraone CAS 5539-67-3 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 238.20 g/mol gives Anthracene-1,2,9,10-tetraone distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Anthracene-1,2,9,10-tetraone (CAS 5539-67-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H6O4, MW 238.20 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, Anthracene-1,2,9,10-tetraone is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 238.20 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).

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), Anthracene-1,2,9,10-tetraone 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.
