2,2'-Bithiophene, 98%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals
2,2'-Bithiophene is used as a precursor in the preparation of 5,5'-bis(trimethylstannyl)-2,2'-bithiophene , which is used for the synthesis of small molecules and polymer semiconductors for organic field-effect transistor (OFETs), organic light-emitting diode (OLED), Plastic Light Emitting Diode (PLED) and Organic Photovoltaic (OPV) applications. It is associated with aryl iodides and involved in rhodium catalyzed arylation of heteroarenes.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
