Chemical Structure

1,10-Phenanthroline CAS 66-71-7 chemical structure

Description

1,10-Phenanthroline (C12H8N2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

1,10-Phenanthroline (CAS 66-71-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H8N2 and a molecular weight of 180.21 g/mol.

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.
