Description

(E)-1,2-Bis(1-Naphthyl)-1,2-Bis(1,1,3,3,5,5,7,7-Octaethyl-1,2,3,5,6,7-Hexahydro-S-Indacen-4-Yl)Disilene is a sophisticated organosilicon compound featuring a disilene core stabilized by bulky, electron-rich indacene and naphthyl substituents. This molecular architecture makes it a highly valuable precursor and ligand in advanced materials science and catalysis, particularly for constructing novel silicon-based polymers and facilitating challenging bond activations. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and material scientists working in the fields of organometallic chemistry, polymer science, and the development of next-generation electronic materials.

Application

• Precursor for Silicon-Based Polymers: Serves as a key monomer for the synthesis of novel polysilanes and silicon-containing hybrid polymers with tailored electronic or optical properties.
• Catalyst Ligand in Organometallic Chemistry: Acts as a sterically demanding, electron-donating ligand to stabilize reactive metal centers for catalytic applications, including hydrogenation and cross-coupling reactions.
• Material Science Research: Used in the development of advanced materials such as molecular wires, semiconductors, and photoresponsive compounds due to its unique Si=Si double bond character.
• Small Molecule Activation: Investigated for its ability to activate small molecules like H2, NH3, or CO2 at the disilene center, relevant to energy storage and conversion.
• Fundamental Chemical Research: Employed in academic and industrial labs to study the structure, bonding, and reactivity of heavy alkenes (group 14 analogues of alkenes).

Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards for high-purity research chemicals. Each batch is characterized using advanced analytical techniques to confirm identity and purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific batch results are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen), protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its moisture-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, the container should only be opened in a controlled, dry environment and resealed immediately after use.
