Description

1,3-Diiodoazulene is a high-value, functionalized azulene derivative characterized by its unique non-alternant hydrocarbon structure and the presence of two iodine atoms. This compound serves as a critical synthetic intermediate and building block in advanced materials science and pharmaceutical research. It is primarily sought after by R&D chemists and process engineers in the fine chemical, organic electronics, and life sciences sectors for developing novel functional dyes, organic semiconductors, and bioactive molecules.

Application

• Organic Semiconductor Precursor: A key starting material for synthesizing novel p-type organic semiconductors and charge-transport materials for OLEDs and OFETs.
• Functional Dye Intermediate: Used in the development of near-infrared (NIR) absorbing dyes, fluorescent probes, and pigments with unique photophysical properties.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Serves as a versatile scaffold in medicinal chemistry for creating new chemical entities with potential biological activity.
• Cross-Coupling Reactions: The iodine atoms make it an excellent substrate for palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions (e.g., Suzuki, Sonogashira) to create complex conjugated systems.
• Material Science Research: Investigated for use in nonlinear optical (NLO) materials, sensors, and as a component in supramolecular assemblies.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A valuable tool for studying the chemistry and properties of azulene-based systems and for proof-of-concept synthesis.

Quality Control

Every batch of our 1,3-Diiodoazulene is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure consistency and reliability for your research and development processes. We provide comprehensive analytical data including HPLC purity, NMR (1H, 13C), and mass spectrometry. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results is available for each shipment upon request, supporting your quality assurance and regulatory documentation needs.

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 light-sensitive nature, prolonged exposure to light should be avoided. Keep the container sealed under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage to maintain optimal stability and purity.
