Chemical Structure

2-(4-(Phenylethynyl)phenyl)acetic acid CAS 857167-91-0 chemical structure

Description

2-(4-(Phenylethynyl)phenyl)acetic acid (C16H12O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
