Product Information
- Pyrene, 1,3,6,8-Tetraphenyl-
Tetraphenylpyrene is a compound that belongs to the class of quinones. It is an organic compound with the molecular formula CH. Tetraphenylpyrene has a red-shift in its luminescence, which may be due to the presence of the amide group. The quinone ring in this molecule is able to undergo intramolecular hydrogen bonding, which stabilizes the molecule and leads to crystalline polymorphs. Tetraphenylpyrene exists in two different crystalline forms: monoclinic and orthorhombic. Tetraphenylpyrene can be used as a photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy. This makes it useful for cancer treatment because it can destroy cells by absorbing light energy and converting it into cytotoxic singlet oxygen molecules (1O2). This conversion occurs when tetraphenylpyrene is exposed to light of appropriate wavelength, such as blue or ultraviolet light. The efficiency of 1O2
