Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 182.26 g/mol gives 2,5-Dimethyl-1,1'-biphenyl distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
2,5-Dimethyl-1,1'-biphenyl (CAS 7372-85-2), molecular formula C14H14 and molecular weight 182.26 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a polycyclic aromatic system, 2,5-Dimethyl-1,1'-biphenyl is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 182.26 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 2,5-Dimethyl-1,1'-biphenyl 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.
