Molecular Formula: C12H7BrS
Molecular Weight: 263.15
Category: Brominated dibenzothiophene sulfur heterocyclic optoelectronic intermediate
2. Physical and Chemical Properties
Physical Properties
- Appearance: Off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder
- Odor: Faint sulfur heterocyclic odor
- Solubility: Soluble in toluene, THF, chloroform, dichlorobenzene; slightly soluble in hot methanol and ethanol; insoluble in water and aliphatic alkanes
- Melting Range: 108–112 °C
- Hygroscopy: Non-hygroscopic under normal ambient humidity
- Aqueous Property: Lipophilic neutral sulfur-containing fused heterocycle, insoluble in pure water
Chemical Properties
- Molecular Structure: Dibenzothiophene fused ring with bromine substituent at the 4-position
- Aryl Bromide Activity: C-Br bond participates in Suzuki-Miyaura, Buchwald-Hartwig, Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions to construct conjugated optoelectronic skeletons
- Sulfur Ring Stability: Dibenzothiophene core has excellent thermal and oxidative stability compared with simple thiophene
- Thermal Stability: Stable below 100 °C; no obvious decomposition under OLED vacuum evaporation temperature
- Photostability: Sensitive to ultraviolet light; long-term illumination produces trace oxidation impurities and darkens powder
- Compatibility: Compatible with aromatic organic solvents; incompatible with strong oxidants, concentrated strong acid and heavy metal catalysts

Safety Warning
Irritant brominated sulfur fused heterocyclic powder. Dust irritates eyes, respiratory tract and skin; long-term contact may induce mild allergic dermatitis for sensitive groups. All operations must be carried out inside ventilated chemical fume hoods with dust respirators, chemical-resistant gloves and full-face safety goggles. Airtight dark storage is required to prevent photooxidation discoloration. Waste liquid needs organic solvent recovery and neutralization treatment; solid waste is classified as organic hazardous waste and must be disposed by licensed professional hazardous waste treatment facilities.
