Description

[5]Cycloparaphenylene CAS NO 96100-94-6 is a highly specialized, strained macrocyclic hydrocarbon consisting of five para-linked benzene rings. This unique structure makes it a molecule of significant scientific interest, particularly as a precise segment of an armchair carbon nanotube. It is primarily sought after by advanced materials researchers and organic electronics developers for its exceptional optoelectronic properties and potential as a molecular template. Key target sectors include nanotechnology, organic semiconductor R&D, and supramolecular chemistry for applications in next-generation electronic devices and sensors.

Application

• Carbon Nanotube Precursor & Template: Serves as a precise, curved seed or template for the bottom-up synthesis of uniform, single-chirality carbon nanotubes.
• Organic Electronic Materials: Investigated as a novel component in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), field-effect transistors (OFETs), and photovoltaic cells due to its unique electronic conjugation.
• Supramolecular Host-Guest Chemistry: Utilized as a rigid, curved host molecule for encapsulating fullerenes (e.g., C60, C70) and other guest molecules, enabling the study of novel charge-transfer complexes.
• Fundamental Research & Synthesis: Acts as a benchmark compound in synthetic organic chemistry for studying strain, aromaticity, and novel cyclization reactions.
• Sensor Development: Explored for use in chemical sensing platforms where its cavity and electronic properties can be tuned for selective molecular recognition.

Quality Control

Our [5]Cycloparaphenylene is produced under stringent conditions to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency, critical for advanced research applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical characterization, including NMR, HPLC, and mass spectrometry, to confirm structural identity and purity. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting all relevant specifications.

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. For long-term storage, consider storing under an inert atmosphere such as argon or nitrogen to prevent potential oxidation.
