2-Thionaphthol was used in the preparation of cholesterol monolayer and multilayer Langmuir- Blodgett (LB) films. The magnetic resonance shift for a self-assembled monolayer of 2-naphthalenethiol was studied that suggested considerable promise in flexible and transparent photonic devices for biological and chemical sensing.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
