Iwata, Satoru; Aoyama, Misa; Uchida, Satoshi; Tanaka, Kiyoshi published their research in Chemistry Letters on December 5 ,2012. The article was titled 《Novel 4-trifluoromethylthiazole-5-carboxylic acid as acceptor in photosensitized dyes》.Reference of 4-(Trifluoromethyl)thiazole-5-carboxylic acid The article contains the following contents:
Novel photosensitized dyes containing 4-trifluoromethylthiazole-5-carboxylic acid as an acceptor are synthesized. Stilbene-type dyes with this acceptor show high performance as dye-sensitized solar cells. The trifluoromethyl group is assumed to act as a suppressor of electron back-donation from the TiO2 conduction band to the electrolyte and as an accelerator of charge separation in the photoexcited state. After reading the article, we found that the author used 4-(Trifluoromethyl)thiazole-5-carboxylic acid(cas: 167548-89-2Reference of 4-(Trifluoromethyl)thiazole-5-carboxylic acid)
4-(Trifluoromethyl)thiazole-5-carboxylic acid(cas: 167548-89-2) is a member of organofluorine compounds. Organofluorine compounds, which have carbon-fluorine bonds, show unique features such as high thermal and chemical stability, high surface activity, no light-absorbing ability, high pharmacological effect, and so on. Owing to their specific characters, they are indispensable chemicals for industry and our daily lives.Reference of 4-(Trifluoromethyl)thiazole-5-carboxylic acid
