General description

Dotriacontane is an n-alkane primarily present in safflower oil. It shows high self-assembly in comparison to mixtures of alkanes with an odd number of carbon atoms.[1]

Application

Dotriacontane (C32) can be used:
  • In the development of organogels.[1]
  • In the synthesis of polystyrene based composite nanoencapsules for thermal energy storage.[2]
  • As a high boiling solvent for the preparation of germanium nanowires by thermal decomposition of diphenylgermane (DPG).[3]
