Chemical Structure

1-(4-Fluorophenyl)naphthalene CAS 572-52-1 chemical structure

Description

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

1-(4-Fluorophenyl)naphthalene (CAS 572-52-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H11F and a molecular weight of 222.26 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 1-(4-Fluorophenyl)naphthalene (C16H11F) is characterized by fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-(4-Fluorophenyl)naphthalene 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.
