CAS 81-83-4: Naphthalimide

1,8-Naphthalimide

1,8-Naphthalimide is a reactive compound that has been shown to have an intramolecular hydrogen bond and intermolecular hydrogen bond. 1,8-Naphthalimide is able to undergo a phase transition from solid to liquid at room temperature. It has also been shown to react with hydrochloric acid and enhance the fluorescence of probes for detecting cervical cancer. 1,8-Naphthalimide also has photochemical properties that allow it to undergo redox cycling. This compound can be used as a fluorescence probe for detecting enzyme activities and its detection sensitivity is higher than other compounds.

It is a useful material for utilization in phosphorescence dye doped organic light emitting diodes (oleds), hole blocking and electron-conducting material.
