Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, 3-Phenyl-1H-indole-2,7-dicarbonitrile is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 243.26 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
3-Phenyl-1H-indole-2,7-dicarbonitrile (CAS 62039-74-1), molecular formula C16H9N3 and molecular weight 243.26 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
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.
