Application

Zinc iodide can be used:
  • As an activator to synthesize poly(vinyl methyl ether) via living cationic polymerization. ZnI2 is known to produce living vinyl ether polymerizations.
  • To prepare precursor solutions for lead halide perovskite solar cells. The addition of ZnI2 leads to higher stability against environmental moisture when introduced into perovskite cells.

Simple and efficient syntheses, catalysed by a mixed Lewis acid system (ZrCl(4)/ZnI(2)), of enantiomerically pure 2- and 2,3-disubstituted furan derivatives--including important synthons such as 3-iodofuran and 3-(hydroxymethyl)furan derivatives--from commercially available 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-D-glucal are described. The transformation is achieved through a synergistic

Methods of Synthesizing Monodisperse Colloidal Quantum Dots

Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are semiconducting crystals of only a few nanometers (ca. 2–12 nm) coated with ligand/surfactant molecules to help prevent agglomeration.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
