n-octylbenzene is used as a solvent to study the self-assembly of derivatives of tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) on graphite and their visualization by scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM). It is also involved in the study the effects and substitution of these compounds. It is also used to prepare charge-transfer complexes with fluoranil and 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene.
This Thermo Scientific 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.
