Application

2-Mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) has been used in the synthesis of MBT functionalized mesoporous silica which can be used as an adsorbent for the removal of Hg(II) from aqueous solution.

It can also be used as a:
  • Reference compound in photocatalytic activity tests under UV or visible light irradiation.
  • Starting material for the synthesis of conjugates of 2-MBT for antitubercular activity studies.
  • Starting material for the synthesis of 4-thiazolidinones.

A novel solid phase extractor for preconcentration of cadmium at ng L(-1) levels has been developed. Cadmium ions were retained on a column packed with sulfur powder modified with 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (2-MBT) in the medium of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([bmim](+)PF(6)(-)) ionic liquid.

This work reports a surface ion imprinting strategy in electropolymerized microporous poly(2-mercaptobenzothiazole) (MPMBT) films at the surface of glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for the electrochemical detection of Hg(II). The Hg(II)-imprinted MPMBT/GCE exhibits larger binding to functionalized capacity, faster binding kinetics
