Product Description of 3-Hexylthiophene CAS#1693-86-3
3-Hexylthiophene is an organic molecule with the molecular formula C₁₀H₁₆S and CAS number 1693-86-3. It takes the form of a colourless to pale yellow liquid, with a density ranging from 0.926–0.936 g/cm³, a boiling point of 225.6°C, a flash point of 64.2°C, a refractive index between 1.496 and 1.505, and a vapour pressure of 0.1 mmHg at 25°C. To preserve its stability, this product needs to be kept in a hermetically sealed vessel within a cool and dry storage space.
This compound mainly functions as a monomer for preparing poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT), a key conjugated polymer. P3HT may be blended with fullerene derivatives to manufacture bulk heterojunction organic solar cells. Furthermore, it can undergo polymerization following the GRIM pathway to yield block copolymers, which are applied in organic thin-film transistors and other organic electronic components.
