Chemical Structure

2,6,9-Trimethylanthracene CAS 65734-36-3 chemical structure

Description

2,6,9-Trimethylanthracene (CAS 65734-36-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C17H16 and a molecular weight of 220.31 g/mol.

2,6,9-Trimethylanthracene (C17H16) contains a polycyclic aromatic system. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2,6,9-Trimethylanthracene 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.
