Product Overview & Core Applications

2,6-Bis(trimethyltin)-4,8-bis(5-(2-ethylhexyl)thiophen-2-yl)benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene (commonly known as BDTT-Sn or BDT-Th-Sn, CAS: 1352642-37-5) is widely regarded as the ultimate star molecule among electron-donating (Donor) core 2D large conjugated building blocks. It is explicitly categorized as an Organic Photovoltaic (OPV) Cell Intermediate Material.

2,6-Bis(trimethyltin)-4,8-bis(5-(2-ethylhexyl)thiophen-2-yl)benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene / BDTT-Sn / BDT-Th-Sn

Benefiting from its extended two-dimensional conjugated non-coplanar framework and the introduction of branchy 2-ethylhexyl alkyl side chains, this material strikes a flawless balance between polymer solubility and molecular crystallinity. It acts as the decisive foundation for constructing modern high-efficiency organic solar cells:
  • The Golden Monomer for OPV Polymers: Functions as the most crucial distannylated donor unit in Stille cross-coupling polycondensations. It is the absolute, irreplaceable precursor for synthesizing world-renowned, high-performance donor polymers such as PM6, PBDB-T, and PTB7-Th.

  • Flawless Energy-Level and Crystal Tuning: The flanking thiophene substituents on the benzodithiophene (BDT) core significantly expand the \(\pi \)-\(\pi \) conjugated plane. This not only lowers the HOMO level to generate superior open-circuit voltage (\(V_{oc}\)) but also drives polymers to form highly favorable "face-on" orientations, maximizing charge carrier mobility and overall Power Conversion Efficiency (PCE).

  • Excellent Solution Processability: The branched alkyl chains grant final polymers premium solubility in eco-friendly and industrial solvents such as chlorobenzene (CB) and ortho-dichlorobenzene (o-DCB), perfectly matching the high-throughput demands of roll-to-roll printing for flexible printed electronics.

Because the synthesis of this large-molecular-weight block involves complex multi-step processes, volatile organolithium reagents, and highly toxic organotin intermediates, separating over-stannylated or monostannylated defects is notoriously difficult. Utilizing our mature organic metal catalytic production lines and specialized fractional crystallization systems, we have broken through these industrial manufacturing limits. We proudly offer 99% ultra-high purity, electronic-polymerization grade stock with a reliable, continuous monthly capacity of 500g to safeguard your enterprise scale-up and commercial production pipeline.
Core Advantages
  • 99% Ultra-High Purity (Electronic Polymerization Grade): Refined via specialized, localized multi-stage crystallization. Monostannylated defects, trace metal residues, and process impurities are strictly restricted. This yields perfect structural symmetry and a precise stoichiometric ratio, guaranteeing consistent, high molecular weight (Mn/Mw) propagation in Stille polycondensations, completely preventing the batch-to-batch efficiency drop caused by sub-par monomer purity.

  • Scarce Industrial Capacity (500g/Month): We eliminate the market bottleneck of "frequent stockouts, erratic quality, and minor gram-scale limits." Our standardized, continuous scale-up facilities guarantee a stable output of 500g per month, supporting everything from quick milligram-scale R&D sampling to bulk commercial procurement.

  • Anaerobic & Ultra-Dry Protective Glovebox Packaging: Organotin monomers are highly vulnerable to degradation when exposed to oxygen, moisture, light, or trace acids. To counteract this, all dividing and sealing steps are executed inside ultra-clean nitrogen-flushed gloveboxes with moisture and oxygen thresholds kept under 1 ppm. Airtight, light-proof fluorinated containers wrapped in parafilm guarantee absolute zero-activity loss during international shipping.

  • Rigorous Quality Control (QbD): Produced under rigid quality management structures. Every single commercial dispatch comes complete with a thorough testing booklet comprising a COA (Certificate of Analysis), HPLC/GC (Purity Analysis), and high-resolution H-NMR/Sn-NMR (Tin-119 NMR) charts to guarantee complete chemical and structural traceability.
