2-Benzylimidazo[1,5-a]quinolinium hexafluorophosphate (CAS 849797-79-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C18H15N2F6P and a molecular weight of 404.29 g/mol.
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, organophosphorus functionality, fluorine substitution, 2-Benzylimidazo[1,5-a]quinolinium hexafluorophosphate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 404.29 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
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.
CATO manufactures 2-Benzylimidazo[1,5-a]quinolinium hexafluorophosphate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
