2,9,16,23-TETRA-TERT-BUTYL-29H,31H-PHTHALOCYANINE

📋Physical Properties

2,9,16,29-tetrabutyl-29H,31H-pyrazin (CAS: 35984-93-1) is an organic semiconductor material, belonging to the functional derivatives of the pyrazine family. Its core feature is the introduction of four tert-butyl groups (-C(CH₃)₃) around the classic pyrazine macrocycle. This structural modification significantly enhances its solubility in organic solvents, making it more suitable for processing by solution methods. As a result, it has greater potential for application in the field of optoelectronics.

🔬Core application areas

1. Organic Photovoltaics (OPV) and Perovskite Solar Cells
Interface modification of perovskite solar cells: A research paper published by Elsevier in 2019 clearly states that depositing this material between the perovskite layer and the hole transport layer can effectively the surface defects of the perovskite material, increasing the photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) from 18.5% to 19.8%， and significantly enhancing the long-term operational stability of the device.
The electron donor of organic solar cells: Studies have shown that the fluorinated derivative of this compound, as an electron donor material, exhibits excellent self-assembly properties and photovoltaic response when used in the fabrication of bulk heterojunction (BHJ) organic solar cells.

2. OLED and Electronic Devices
OLED materials: Phthalocyanine compounds are often used in the hole injection layer or electron transport layer of OLEDs due to their excellent electron transport properties and stability. According to the product information of Chem-Impex, their metal complexes are specifically used in the manufacturing optimization of OLEDs.
Organic electronic devices: As a stable p-type organic semiconductor, it can be used to fabricate logic circuit components such as organic field-effect transistors (OFETs)

3. Other cutting-edge research fields
Optoelectronic detectors and sensors: By leveraging their reversible redox properties, they can be utilized to create highly sensitive chemical or biological sensors.
Photodynamic therapy: Exploring the role of photosensitizers, which, upon activation by specific wavelengths of light, generate reactive oxygen species capable of killing cancer cells.

💡Special Note

In actual scientific research and industrial applications, this ligand often forms coordination bonds with metal ions (such as Zn²⁺, Cu²⁺, Ga³⁺, Si⁴⁺, etc.) to form metal complexes (such as “zinc phthalocyanine” or “silicon phthalocyanine”), in order to fine-tune their optical, electrochemical and electronic properties to meet the requirements of specific devices.

⚠️ Safety and Storage
