Product Information

• Name: 2,5-Diphenylthiophene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2,5-Diphenylthiophene is a fluorescent dye that has been used to study the transport properties of aromatic molecules. This compound is characterized by two phenyl groups and a thiophene ring with a sulfur atom in the 2 position. The red shift observed for this compound is due to the electron withdrawing effect of the sulfur atom. 2,5-Diphenylthiophene has shown inhibition activity against Nepeta cataria, which may be due to its ability to form sulfoxide bonds with proteins. It has also been found that this molecule can polymerize and form polymers in solution. This property is related to its morphology, which is irregular and rod-like in shape.
