Application

α,α,α′,α′-Tetrabromo-o-xylene can be employed as a precursor for the synthesis of:
  • Poly(o-phenylene vinylene) (o-PPV) via electrochemical polymerization.
  • A pentacene derivative by reacting with naphthalene moieties for the development of organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs).
  • Bitopic pyrazole containing ligands.
