1,6-Diiodohexane is used as a precursor in the preparation of cationic tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA)-containing polyurethane surfaces. It is also used as a solvent additive and in potential power conversion efficiency of polymer or fullerene bulk heterojunction solar cells. Further, it is employed in the preparation of 3-(iodohexyl)-1-(3-(triethoxysilyl)propylcarbamoyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-3-ium iodide and 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone.
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.
