Application
p-Terphenyl, a purified aromatic hydrocarbon isomer, serves a diverse range of purposes due to its unique physical and chemical properties. Recognized for its white or light-yellow solid form, it is primarily used as a specialty material in several advanced applications. It is involved in ionized radiation detectors and operates as a nonpolar laser dye. Furthermore, it plays a crucial role as a single molecule optical probe in scanning near-field microscopy, exploiting its sensitivity to vacuum ultraviolet radiation. The substance is a key intermediary in the production of diphenyl LCD materials and serves as a fundamental raw material in organic synthesis, contributing to the creation of antifungal cyclic peptides and polyamide materials. p-Terphenyl is also utilized in the field of fine chemical engineering as an organic scintillation reagent, generating fluorescence under radiation, which makes it suitable for use in scintillation counters and as a synthetic intermediate for laser dyes. Additionally, it participates in sensitized photoreduction processes involving CO2 with cobalt and iron porphyrins, marking its significance in both practical and research-oriented domains.
