Chemical Structure

Benzo[c]phenanthrene[5,6]quinone CAS 734-41-8 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 258.27 g/mol gives Benzo[c]phenanthrene[5,6]quinone distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Benzo[c]phenanthrene[5,6]quinone (CAS 734-41-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C18H10O2 and a molecular weight of 258.27 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C18H10O2, Benzo[c]phenanthrene[5,6]quinone contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 258.27 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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), Benzo[c]phenanthrene[5,6]quinone 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.
