Description

3-(Bromomethyl)-Perylene is a high-purity, functionalized polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) derivative, serving as a critical synthetic intermediate. Its value lies in providing a reactive bromomethyl handle for further chemical modifications, enabling the construction of complex molecular architectures. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the fields of organic electronics, materials science, and advanced dye chemistry, where precise molecular engineering is required.

Application

• Organic Semiconductor Precursor: Key building block for synthesizing perylene diimide (PDI) and perylene monoimide (PMI) derivatives used in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and photovoltaic cells.
• Fluorescent Dye & Pigment Synthesis: Intermediate for creating novel perylene-based fluorescent probes, pigments, and dyes with high stability and quantum yield.
• Liquid Crystal Materials: Used in the development of discotic liquid crystals for electronic applications due to the perylene core's planarity and pi-conjugation.
• Polymer Functionalization: Acts as a grafting agent to introduce perylene chromophores into polymer backbones for specialty polymers with optical or electronic properties.
• Research & Development: Vital tool in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new organic electronic materials and supramolecular chemistry.
• Photonics and Sensor Development: Building block for materials used in light-harvesting systems, chemical sensors, and bio-imaging agents.

Quality Control

Our 3-(Bromomethyl)-Perylene is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and GC-MS, to ensure high chemical purity and identity confirmation. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term storage to prevent degradation.
