Product Information

• Name: 2,4,6-Triphenylpyridine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2,4,6-Triphenylpyridine is an aromatic heterocycle with a benzyl group and trifluoroacetic acid at the 2-, 4-, and 6-positions. It is a colorless solid that has a melting point of 183 °C. In the gas phase, it exists as three anion radicals (2-, 4-, and 6-). These radicals are responsible for its optical properties. The 2-anion radical has a blue emission spectrum while the 4- and 6-anion radicals have red emission spectra. 2,4,6-Triphenylpyridine can be used as an indicator for trifluoroacetic acid or benzonitrile. It is soluble in primary alcohols such as methanol and ethanol at lower temperatures, but becomes insoluble at higher temperatures. 2,4,6-Triphenylpyridine also has functional theory applications due to its ability to
