Chemical Structure

1,4-Naphthalenedicarboxylic Acid CAS 605-70-9 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-Naphthalenedicarboxylic Acid (CAS 605-70-9), molecular formula C12H8O4 and molecular weight 216.19 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 1,4-Naphthalenedicarboxylic Acid (C12H8O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 216.19 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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-Naphthalenedicarboxylic Acid 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.
