Acetonitrile, a highly polar and volatile organic compound, serves as a solvent in various industrial applications for liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). This clear, colorless liquid possesses an ether-like aromatic odor. Commonly referred to as methyl cyanide (MeCN), it is also known by other names such as cyanomethane, ethyl nitrile, and methane carbonitrile. Its chemical formula is CH3CN, with a structural representation of H3C-C?N. Acetonitrile is predominantly utilized as a mobile phase in liquid chromatography.
