Product Information

• Name: Corannulene
• Synonyms: Dibenzo[ghi,mno]fluoranthene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Corannulene is a hydrocarbon molecule that is made up of hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen atoms. It has a symmetrical structure with one C=C double bond and two C-N bonds. Corannulene has a molecular weight of 136.11 g/mol and its density at room temperature is 1.2 g/cm3. Corannulene can be found in the chemical biology field as a model system for understanding transport properties and the hydrophobic effect. The molecule also has thermal expansion properties that are important to consider when designing materials for use in different environments. Corannulene’s x-ray crystal structures have been analyzed to determine how well it would work as an organic semiconductor material for electronics applications.
