(2-Chloro-5-nitrophenyl)hydrazine (CAS 96701-59-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H6ClN3O2 and a molecular weight of 187.58 g/mol.
The molecular framework of (2-Chloro-5-nitrophenyl)hydrazine (C6H6ClN3O2) is characterized by an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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), (2-Chloro-5-nitrophenyl)hydrazine 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.
