CAS 2102-15-0: Benzonitrile-d5

Benzonitrile-d5 is a deuterated molecule that has been used extensively in the study of the spectroscopic properties of benzonitrile. The high spectral resolution and sensitivity allow for an accurate determination of the molecular structure. Benzonitrile-d5 can be used to help identify compounds with similar chemical structures, such as chlorobenzene and benzene. It can be used to determine if the compound has asymmetric or oriented molecules because it will display a red shift or blue shift in its infrared absorption spectrum, respectively. Benzonitrile-d5 can also be used to measure thermodynamic properties such as heat capacity and entropy, which are useful for determining phase equilibria.

Applications Benzonitrile-D5 is a labelled analogue of benzonitrile, commonly used as a precursor to synthesize a wide range of aromatic compounds and also forms stable coordination complexes with transition metals.
