The occurrence of 1-Methyl-2-pyridin-2-ylpyridinium iodide is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, iodine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies 1-Methyl-2-pyridin-2-ylpyridinium iodide (CAS 77972-47-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H11N2I, MW 298.12 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Based on its molecular formula C11H11N2I, 1-Methyl-2-pyridin-2-ylpyridinium iodide contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, iodine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 298.12 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), 1-Methyl-2-pyridin-2-ylpyridinium iodide 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.
