Chemical Structure

5-fluoropyridine-3-carbonitrile CAS 696-42-4 chemical structure

Description

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.

5-fluoropyridine-3-carbonitrile (CAS 696-42-4), molecular formula C6H3FN2 and molecular weight 122.10 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

5-fluoropyridine-3-carbonitrile (C6H3FN2) contains a nitrile group, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 5-fluoropyridine-3-carbonitrile 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.
