Carbon Monoxide (¹³C) is a form of carbon monoxide where the carbon atom is the carbon-13 isotope instead of the more common carbon-12. This isotopic labeling is particularly useful in studies involving carbon monoxide’s role in chemical reactions, its behavior in biological systems, and environmental tracking. The carbon-13 isotope allows for enhanced detection and analysis through NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, enabling precise tracing and differentiation in research. Despite the isotopic substitution, it retains the same chemical properties as regular carbon monoxide.
