The field of nanofabrication relies heavily on the ability to precisely control surface properties at the molecular level. As a chemical manufacturer and supplier specializing in advanced materials, we understand the critical role that tailored interfaces play in enabling cutting-edge applications. This article discusses 3-BPIC (CAS: 3038707-49-9), a versatile material for creating self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) crucial for precision surface modification and various nanofabrication processes.

Nanofabrication encompasses a range of techniques used to create structures and devices with dimensions in the nanometer range. These techniques are fundamental to advancements in microelectronics, advanced sensors, biomedical devices, and more. The success of many nanofabrication methods, such as micro-contact printing and soft lithography, depends on the ability to impart specific chemical functionalities to surfaces.

3-BPIC: A Key Material for Surface Functionalization

3-BPIC, chemically known as (Indolo[2,3-a]carbazole-11,12-diylbis(propane-3,1-diyl))diphosphonic acid, is an ideal molecule for creating SAMs. Its phosphonic acid head groups strongly adhere to a variety of surfaces, including metal oxides and noble metals, while its tail group can be functionalized or chosen to impart specific properties to the modified surface. As a supplier, we focus on delivering 3-BPIC with high purity and consistent molecular structure, ensuring reliable performance in demanding nanofabrication workflows.

The off-white solid form of 3-BPIC, coupled with its defined electronic characteristics (HOMO/LUMO: -5.25 eV/-0.96 eV), makes it a valuable tool for researchers and engineers who need to buy materials with predictable behavior. When you source 3-BPIC from us, you gain access to a material that:
