Description

N,N'-Bis(1-Hexylheptyl)-Perylene-3,4:9,10-Bis-(Dicarboximide) is a high-performance perylene diimide (PDI) derivative, a class of organic pigments and dyes renowned for their exceptional chemical, thermal, and photochemical stability. This compound matters for its outstanding coloristic properties and electronic characteristics, making it a critical functional material in advanced applications. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the organic electronics, specialty pigments, and high-tech materials sectors seeking durable and efficient colorants or n-type semiconductors.

Application

• Organic Photovoltaics (OPVs): As a non-fullerene electron acceptor material in bulk heterojunction solar cells due to its strong light absorption and suitable energy levels.
• Organic Field-Effect Transistors (OFETs): Utilized as an n-type semiconductor channel material for creating complementary logic circuits.
• High-Performance Pigments: Imparts vivid, durable red to maroon colors in automotive paints, industrial coatings, and plastics where superior weatherfastness is required.
• Luminescent Materials: Used in the development of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs).
• Photoconductors: A key component in the charge generation layer of xerographic photoreceptors for photocopiers and laser printers.
• Chemical Sensors: Acts as a sensing layer in optoelectronic sensors due to its fluorescence properties which can be quenched by specific analytes.
