Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 97.09 g/mol gives 4-Fluoropyridine distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
4-Fluoropyridine (CAS 694-52-0), molecular formula C5H4FN and molecular weight 97.09 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 4-Fluoropyridine (C5H4FN) is characterized by a nitrile group, fluorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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.
