N-TETRACONTANE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

White powder or flaky solid

Uses

n-Tetracontane is used in a passivation layer in copper-phthalocyanine field-effect transistors for improving the charge carrier mobility and used to modify the quasi two-dimensional surface electron system on Au(111).

Uses

Tetracontane is a long chain n-alkane that has been used as a prototype of linear polyethylene to understand the phase behavior of polymer solution.

General Description

Tetracontane belongs to the class of saturated hydrocarbons.
