Product Information

• Name: 1,3,6,8-Pyrenetetrasulfonic acid tetrasodium, 10% aqueous solution
• Synonyms: PTSA
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1,3,6,8-Pyrenetetrasulfonic acid tetrasodium salt (PTS) is a palladium complex that is used as a catalyst in the chemical industry. It can be prepared by the reaction of palladium chloride with sodium sulfide and sodium hydroxide. PTS has been shown to react with diethyl succinate, forming a solid catalyst that can be stored for longer periods of time. This compound has been found to catalyze hydrogenations under constant pressure conditions and also exhibit low energy consumption when performing reactions. PTS is able to bind to DNA, leading to cancer cell death. PTS also has fluorescence properties and can be used in electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.
