Chemical Structure

Isocyanomethane CAS 593-75-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 41.05 g/mol gives Isocyanomethane distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Isocyanomethane (CAS 593-75-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C2H3N and a molecular weight of 41.05 g/mol.

Isocyanomethane (C2H3N) contains a nitrile group. Its physicochemical properties are representative of its class; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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), Isocyanomethane 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.
