Product Overview & Core Applications

2,5-Bis(trimethylstannyl)thiophene (commonly known as 2,5-Bis(trimethylstannyl)thiophene, CAS: 86134-26-1) is one of the most classic and indispensable electron-donating (Donor) core building blocks in the chemistry of organic electronics. It is explicitly categorized as an Organic Photovoltaic (OPV) Cell Intermediate Material.

2,5-Bis(trimethylstannyl)thiophene

Serving as a fundamental bifunctional organometallic monomer for constructing high-performance "Donor-Acceptor (D-A)" conjugated polymers and small molecules, it plays a decisive role across the following sectors:
  • Organic Photovoltaic (OPV) Intermediates: Acts as the most widely used distannylated donor unit in Stille cross-coupling polymerizations. It is the vital precursor for synthesizing renowned low-bandgap donor polymers (such as PTB7, PCE10, etc.) and advanced non-fullerene acceptors.

  • Organic Field-Effect Transistors (OFETs): Its rigid, unsubstituted thiophene core promotes tight, highly ordered intermolecular \(\pi \)-\(\pi \) stacking, which drastically boosts the charge carrier mobility of downstream thin-film transistors.

  • Flexible printed Electronics: Its exceptional structural regularity empowers resulting polymers with excellent processing rheology and electrical consistency in flexible circuits, organic light-emitting transistors (OLETs), and organic thermoelectric devices.

Because the synthesis of organotin monomers demands strict anhydrous/anaerobic conditions, cryogenic profiles, and involves highly toxic byproducts, high-vacuum refinement is notoriously difficult. Consequently, catalog retailers routinely offer it only in minor milligram/gram quantities at inflated rates. Utilizing our mature continuous organometallic production lines and advanced high-vacuum fractional distillation systems, we have broken through these limits. We proudly offer 99% ultra-high purity, polymerization-grade stock with a reliable, continuous monthly capacity of 1kg to secure your enterprise scale-up and commercial production pipeline.
Core Advantages
  • 99% Ultra-High Purity (Polymerization Grade): Refined via specialized, high-resolution purification. Monostannylated defects, unreacted thiophene, inorganic tin salts, and residual solvents are strictly restricted. This yields perfect bifunctional stoichiometry and absolute chemical cleanliness, guaranteeing consistent, high molecular weight (Mn/Mw) propagation in Stille polycondensations, which drastically enhances the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of downstream photovoltaic devices.

  • Stable Industrial Monthly Capacity (1kg/Month): We eliminate the market bottleneck of "unstable supply chains and minor catalog reagent constraints." Our standardized facilities guarantee a stable output of 1kg per month, supporting everything from bulk sampling to continuous commercial procurement.

  • Anaerobic & Light-Proof Protective Packaging: To counteract the sensitivity of organotin compounds to air, moisture, and light, our entire packaging cycle is executed inside ultra-dry, high-purity nitrogen-flushed gloveboxes. Vacuum-sealed, chemical-resistant fluorinated bottles with parafilm double-layer sealing guarantee zero quality degradation during long-term storage.

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