Chemical Structure

Dipotassium 2-Naphthol-6,8-disulfonate Hydrate CAS 842-18-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Dipotassium 2-Naphthol-6,8-disulfonate Hydrate is closely related to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Dipotassium 2-Naphthol-6,8-disulfonate Hydrate (CAS 842-18-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H6O7S2K and a molecular weight of 341.37 g/mol.

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, Dipotassium 2-Naphthol-6,8-disulfonate Hydrate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 341.37 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).

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), Dipotassium 2-Naphthol-6,8-disulfonate Hydrate 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.
