General description

Octylbenzene (1-Phenyloctane) forms charge-transfer complexes with fluoranil and 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene.

Application

1-Phenyloctane 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 used to study the effects of the substitution of these compounds on the interactions between them.

Selective adsorption of semiconductor nanocrystals onto an organic self-organized pattern shows a time-dependent behavior. By studying the wetting behavior of delivered solvent (1-phenyloctane) on a lipid self-organized pattern and determining the adhesion energy between semiconductor nanocrystals and substrate, we obtain
