Description

1H-Benz[E]Indolium, 3-Butyl-2-[5-(3-Butyl-1,3-Dihydro-1,1-Dimethyl-2H-Benz[E]Indol-2-Ylidene)-3-Chloro-1,3-Pentadienyl]-1,1-Dimethyl-, Perchlorate is a specialized organic salt belonging to the cyanine dye family, valued for its unique photophysical properties. This compound matters for its ability to act as a highly effective near-infrared (NIR) absorbing chromophore and fluorescent marker in advanced material science. It is primarily needed by researchers and manufacturers in the optical data storage, semiconductor photolithography, and biomedical imaging sectors, where precise light absorption and emission are critical.

Application

• Optical Data Storage Media: As a key dye component in recordable CD-R and DVD-R discs for laser writing and reading.
• Semiconductor Photoresists: Functioning as a photoacid generator (PAG) or sensitizer in advanced photolithography processes for microchip fabrication.
• Nonlinear Optical (NLO) Materials: Used in the development of devices for optical switching, limiting, and telecommunications due to its strong NIR absorption.
• Biomedical Imaging Probes: Serving as a fluorescent tag or contrast agent for in vitro and in vivo imaging in the NIR window.
• Laser Dyes and Optical Filters: Tuning laser output and creating specific wavelength filters for scientific and industrial lasers.
• Organic Photovoltaic (OPV) Cells: Acting as an electron donor or acceptor material in the active layer to enhance light harvesting.
• Security Inks and Dyes: Utilized in anti-counterfeiting applications for currency, documents, and high-value goods due to its distinctive optical signature.

Quality Control

Our production of this high-purity specialty dye adheres to stringent quality protocols. Every batch is characterized using HPLC, NMR, and UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy to confirm identity, purity, and optical performance. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, impurity profiles, and extinction coefficients, ensuring consistency for your critical R&D and manufacturing processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its perchlorate salt nature and light-sensitive properties, keep the container sealed under an inert atmosphere if possible and separate from incompatible materials.
