1-Bromo-10,12-pentacosadiyne is a monomer that has been shown to be an efficient catalyst for electrochemical polymerization. It can catalyze the polymerization of ethylene oxide in its presence. 1-Bromo-10,12-pentacosadiyne has been used as a monolayer on gold electrode surfaces and has also been used to create micelles. The monolayer is created by first depositing the bromide ion onto a glass surface, followed by deposition of the pentacosadiynyl radical onto the bromide ions. This process creates a stable layer on the surface that can be used for various reactions. Studies have shown that 1-Bromo-10,12-pentacosadiyne interacts with lectins, which are proteins found in plants that bind to sugar molecules on cell membranes. Lectins have been shown to inhibit tumor growth and cancerous cell proliferation in
