2,2'-(Anthracene-9,10-diyl)diacetonitrile CAS 62806-30-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2,2'-(Anthracene-9,10-diyl)diacetonitrile is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2,2'-(Anthracene-9,10-diyl)diacetonitrile (CAS 62806-30-8), molecular formula C18H12N2 and molecular weight 256.30 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 2,2'-(Anthracene-9,10-diyl)diacetonitrile (C18H12N2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 14.0, corresponding to approximately 14 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 256.30 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.
