Description

1-Tetracosanthiol is a high-purity, long-chain alkanethiol characterized by its 24-carbon backbone and terminal thiol (-SH) functional group. This compound serves as a critical building block and surface modifier in advanced material science, where precise molecular architecture dictates performance. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the specialty chemicals, nanotechnology, and polymer industries seeking to engineer specific surface properties, create self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), or develop novel lubricant additives.

Application

• Formation of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold, silver, and other metal surfaces for corrosion inhibition, biosensor platforms, and controlled wetting.
• Surface functionalization and modification of nanoparticles and quantum dots to improve dispersion stability and biocompatibility.
• As a chain transfer agent (CTA) or modifier in controlled radical polymerization processes, such as RAFT polymerization.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of specialty surfactants, lubricant additives, and phase-transfer catalysts.
• Research and development of molecular electronics and organic thin-film devices.
• Modification of polymer surfaces to alter adhesion, friction, and chemical resistance properties.

Quality Control

Our 1-Tetracosanthiol is produced under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay, identity confirmation, and impurity profiles. Our quality systems are designed to support research and industrial applications requiring reliable and traceable materials.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive nature and potential for oxidation of the thiol group, prolonged exposure to light and air should be minimized. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
