Sulfur-containing Fused Polycyclic Building Block: Naphtho[2,3-b]thiophene
We offer high purity, sublimation-refined Naphtho[2,3-b]thiophene [N1257], manufactured under strict quality control, ideal for electronic materials and analytical applications. It is available as a building block for organic semiconductors, such as OFET materials. Additionally, it can induce room-temperature phosphorescence of dibenzothiophene and serves as a standard substance for sulfur-containing polycyclic aromatic compounds (PASHs) found in petroleum.

Phenylphenothiazine (PTH) Derivatives
Phenylphenothiazine (PTH) is a crucial component in organic semiconductors, functioning as a hole transporting material for solar cells and as an organic electroluminescent material. Additionally, PTH has garnered interest as an organic photocatalyst and as a catalyst for organic atom transfer radical polymerization (O-ATRP).

Controlled Radical Polymerization Chain Transfer Agents for TERP
We offer chain transfer agents for Organotellurium-mediated radical polymerization (TERP), a type of precision radical polymerization. These agents have features such as "possibility of synthesizing polymers with narrow molecular weight distribution", "easy molecular weight control", and "possibility of synthesizing block copolymers". Additionally, they are convenient for synthesizing functional polymers due to their wide range of applicable monomer functional groups and the possibility of converting terminal groups. Moreover, compared to reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization, TERP has the advantage of a broader range of controllable monomers with the same chain transfer agent.

n-Type SAM Forming Agent Enabling Efficient Perovskite Solar Cell: PANDI
PANDI [P3307] achieves the highest level of conversion efficiency in perovskite solar cells using n-type SAM. It can be used as an alternative to electron transport layers such as TiO2 and SnO2, enabling uniform coverage on metal oxide surfaces. It is also compatible with low-temperature processes, allowing the use of flexible plastic substrates. Additionally, it simultaneously reduces optical reflectance and interfacial energy loss.
