Perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) is an organic dye molecule and an organic semiconductor. It is used as a precursor to a class of molecules known as Rylene dyes, which are useful as pigments and dyes. It is a dark red solid with low solubility in aromatic solvents. The compound has attracted much interest as an organic semiconductor.[2]

Structure

[edit]

PTCDA consists of a perylene core to which two anhydride groups have been attached, one at either side. It occurs in two crystalline forms, α and β.[3] Both have the P21/c monoclinic symmetry and a density of ca. 1.7 g/cm3, which is relatively high for organic compounds. Their lattice parameters are:

Form a b c γ
α 0.374 nm 1.196 nm 1.734 nm 98.8°
β 0.378 nm 1.930 nm 1.077 nm 83.6°

Use

[edit]

The main industrial use of PTCDA is as a precursor to Rylene dyes.[6][7]
