Chemical Structure

Bis(p-chlorobenzylidene)ethylenediamine CAS 60434-95-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 305.20 g/mol gives Bis(p-chlorobenzylidene)ethylenediamine distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Bis(p-chlorobenzylidene)ethylenediamine (CAS 60434-95-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H14Cl2N2, MW 305.20 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, Bis(p-chlorobenzylidene)ethylenediamine is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 305.20 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.

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.
