Chemical Structure

Phenanthrene-1,2-dione CAS 573-12-6 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Phenanthrene-1,2-dione.

Phenanthrene-1,2-dione (CAS 573-12-6), molecular formula C14H8O2 and molecular weight 208.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Phenanthrene-1,2-dione (C14H8O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 11.0, corresponding to approximately 11 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 208.21 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
