Uses

Used in Solar Cell Industry:
1,8-Octanedithiol is used as a processing additive to functionalize the electrode layer, enhancing the power efficiency of P3HT:PCBM solar cells. Its organo-metallic properties contribute to improved electron transport, leading to better overall performance of the solar cells.
Used in Electrochemistry:
1,8-Octanedithiol is used to form a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on gold electrodes, which enhances the electrochemical properties of the electrodes. The formation of SAMs with OCT improves the electron transport medium, making it a valuable component in the development of advanced electrochemical sensors and devices.

CERAMIDE DIMER, METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION THEREOF, AND USE OF SAME

The invention relates to ceramide dimers in which the amino alcohols are linked together by amide bonds via a dicarboxylic acid. The dicarboxylic acids have at least one sulfur atom in the chain. The invention also relates to a method for producing the ceramide dimers. The ceramide dimers are used as active ingredients to stabilize the skin barrier in cosmetic and pharmaceutical preparations.

[FeFe]-Hydrogenase H-Cluster Mimics with Various -S(CH2)nS- Linker Lengths (n = 2-8): A Systematic Study

The effect of the nature of the dithiolato ligand on the physical and electrochemical properties of synthetic H-cluster mimics of the [FeFe]-hydrogenase is still of significant concern. In this report we describe the cyclization of various alkanedithiols to afford cyclic disulfide, tetrasulfide, and hexasulfide compounds. The latter compounds were used as proligands for the synthesis of a series of [FeFe]-hydrogenase H-cluster mimics having the general formulas [Fe2(CO)6{μ-S(CH2)nS}] (n = 4-8), [Fe2(CO)6{μ-S(CH2)nS}]2 (n = 6-8), and [Fe2(CO)6{(μ-S(CH2)nS)2}] (n = 6-8). The resulting complexes were characterized by 1H and 13C{1H} NMR and IR spectroscopic techniques, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis as well as X-ray analysis. The purpose of this research was to study the influence of the systematic increase of n from 2 to 7 on the redox potentials of the models and the catalytic ability in the presence of acetic acid (AcOH) by applying cyclic voltammetry.
