Usage

Uses

Used in Plastics Industry:
2,3-bis(dibromomethyl)naphthalene is used as a flame retardant in the plastics industry to enhance the fire resistance of various plastic materials, thereby reducing the risk of fire and improving safety standards in products.
Used in Textile Industry:
In the textile industry, 2,3-bis(dibromomethyl)naphthalene serves as a flame retardant, ensuring that fabrics and other textile products possess a higher level of fire resistance, which is crucial for applications in upholstery, carpets, and clothing.
Used in Foam Products:
2,3-bis(dibromomethyl)naphthalene is utilized as a flame retardant in the production of foam products, such as in furniture and insulation materials, to improve their fire safety performance and mitigate the hazards associated with fire incidents.
However, it is important to note that the use of DBN has been a subject of concern due to its potential environmental and health impacts. As a brominated flame retardant, DBN is known to be persistent, bioaccumulative, and potentially toxic, which necessitates careful consideration and ongoing research into safer alternatives or methods to mitigate its risks.

Intramolecular Singlet Fission in Oligoacene Heterodimers

We investigate singlet fission (SF) in heterodimers comprising a pentacene unit covalently bonded to another acene as we systematically vary the singlet and triplet pair energies. We find that these energies control the SF process, where dimers undergo SF provided that the resulting triplet pair energy is similar or lower in energy than the singlet state. In these systems the singlet energy is determined by the lower-energy chromophore, and the rate of SF is found to be relatively independent of the driving force. However, triplet pair recombination in these heterodimers follows the energy gap law. The ability to tune the energies of these materials provides a key strategy to study and design new SF materials - an important process for third-generation photovoltaics. Organic electronics: A series of oligoacene heterodimers was synthesized to test the energetic requirements for singlet fission - a photophysical process that yields two triplet excitons from a single photon. Thus a possibility is offered to tune this process.
