Description

Bathocuproine is a high-purity, heterocyclic organic compound widely recognized as an essential chelating ligand and analytical reagent. Its primary commercial value lies in its exceptional ability to form stable, luminescent complexes with copper(I) ions, making it a critical component in advanced material science and analytical chemistry. This product is indispensable for researchers and manufacturers in the OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) industry, photovoltaic research, and as a selective colorimetric indicator for copper detection.

Application

• OLED Device Fabrication: Serves as a key electron-transport layer (ETL) material and host for emissive layers in high-efficiency displays and lighting.
• Photovoltaic Research: Used as an electron transport material and additive in perovskite solar cells and other next-generation photovoltaic devices to improve efficiency and stability.
• Analytical Chemistry: Employed as a highly selective and sensitive chromogenic agent for the spectrophotometric determination of copper(I) ions in various samples.
• Catalysis & Synthesis: Acts as a stabilizing ligand in homogeneous catalysis and in the synthesis of novel coordination compounds and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
• Material Science Research: Utilized in the development of luminescent sensors, electrochemiluminescence (ECL) systems, and other functional materials.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: May be used in the research and synthesis of complex organic molecules and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Quality Control

Our Bathocuproine is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity suitable for electronic grade and research applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analysis, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
