Chemical Structure

4-Amino-1-methylpyridin-1-ium iodide CAS 7680-59-3 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, 4-Amino-1-methylpyridin-1-ium iodide (IC6H9N2) contains a nitrile group, iodine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 236.05 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

4-Amino-1-methylpyridin-1-ium iodide (CAS 7680-59-3), molecular formula IC6H9N2 and molecular weight 236.05 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.
