Indanthrone is a chemical compound that is commercially produced as an anthraquinone dye in the colorant industry and is used in research and development because of its catalytic and optical properties. The structure of the molecule is derived from the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon naphtho [2,3- c ] pentaphene. Four crystal modifications (α, β, γ, δ) are known, of which the α modification is the most stable form.
The dye is known as the first representative of the brand name Indanthrene , introduced by BASF in 1901 - an acronym for indigo made from anthracene .
presentation
Indanthrone was the first synthetic anthraquinone- based vat dye . The synthesis was developed by the BASF chemist René Bohn :
By dimerizing 2-aminoanthraquinone ( 1 ) under strongly alkaline conditions at 220–235 ° C, intermediate 3 is obtained in two steps , which is intramolecularly cyclized and oxidized to indanthrone 5 .
properties
- Organic semiconductor from the class of conjugated molecules .
- non-linear light absorber
- Colorant (blue pigment )
- Temperature resistance: 200 ° C
use
Organic semiconductor
As an organic semiconductor , indanthrone z. B. as a photocatalyst for oxygen production from water using solar energy . In addition, indanthrone carry out its capacity as a non-linear light absorber as a so-called optical limiter (Engl. Optical limiter ) z. B. use in laser protection filters.
Colorants
Indanthrone is mainly used as a blue pigment (CI Pigment Blue 60) in vat dyeing under the name CI Vat Blue 4. Indanthron is a synthetically produced vat dye with the highest fastness properties for dyeings and prints, especially for cellulose- based textile fibers . The fibers dyed with indanthrene meet the highest demands and have excellent washing , cooking , light , weather and chlorine fastness properties .
trademark
Indanthren has been a trademark of the textile industry for lightfast and washfast dyed textiles since 1922 , regardless of the type of dye used.
