C6H8N2

C6H8N2 is a molecular formula that denotes organic compounds containing six carbon atoms, eight hydrogen atoms, and two nitrogen atoms. It is a general formula used in chemical databases and calculations, and it does not specify a unique structure.

Because C6H8N2 can correspond to multiple isomers, it represents a family of compounds rather than a single substance. These isomers may include acyclic amines, as well as various heterocyclic structures or fused ring systems that incorporate two nitrogen atoms. The exact connectivity of the atoms determines the compound’s properties, so with this formula alone one cannot ascribe a definite set of physical or chemical characteristics.

Molar mass for any compound with the formula C6H8N2 is about 108.14 g/mol. Other properties, such as boiling and melting points, density, basicity, and reactivity, vary with structure and should be specified by a structural description, such as a SMILES string or InChI, or by providing a specific name.

In practical use, C6H8N2 serves as an empirical or molecular formula in analytical contexts, formula reconciliation, and chemical inventory. To identify a particular substance, structural information or identifiers (for example, a CAS number, SMILES, or InChI) is required. Safety, handling, and regulatory considerations depend on the exact compound represented by the formula.
