Description

Tin(IV) 2,3-Naphthalocyanine Dichloride is a high-purity, organometallic phthalocyanine derivative characterized by its extended aromatic system. This compound matters as a specialized functional material, prized for its unique photophysical and electrochemical properties derived from the central tin atom and the naphthalocyanine ligand. It is primarily needed by researchers and manufacturers in advanced material science, working on applications such as organic semiconductors, photodynamic therapy agents, and non-linear optical materials.

Application

• Organic Photovoltaics (OPVs) & Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs): Utilized as a p-type semiconductor or sensitizer due to its strong absorption in the near-infrared (NIR) region and suitable energy levels for charge generation.
• Photodynamic Therapy (PDT): Investigated as a potential photosensitizer for cancer treatment, leveraging its ability to generate singlet oxygen upon light irradiation.
• Non-Linear Optics (NLO): Serves as a key component in the development of materials for optical limiting, frequency doubling, and electro-optic modulation.
• Chemical Sensors: Acts as an active layer in gas and vapor sensors, where its electrical conductivity changes upon analyte interaction.
• Catalysis: Employed as a catalyst or catalyst precursor in various organic transformations and oxidation reactions.
• Advanced Pigments & Dyes: Used in the formulation of high-performance, stable colorants for specialized coatings and inks.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: Serves as a critical building block for synthesizing novel coordination complexes and studying structure-property relationships in macrocyclic chemistry.

Quality Control

Our Tin(IV) 2,3-Naphthalocyanine Dichloride is produced under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity, suitable for demanding research and development applications. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including spectroscopic identification and purity assessment. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

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