Chemical Structure

(p-Tolylmethylene)dibenzene CAS 603-37-2 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies (p-Tolylmethylene)dibenzene (CAS 603-37-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C20H18, MW 258.36 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a polycyclic aromatic system, (p-Tolylmethylene)dibenzene is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 258.36 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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

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.
