QUICK LINKS

Thioindigo is an organosulfur compound that belongs to the class of indigo dyes, which are derived from the indigo plant and are used to dye polyester fabric. Thioindigo compounds have been investigated for their potential use in organic electronics and optoelectronic devices, such as organic solar cells, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), and organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). Additionally, the fluorescence and phosphorescence of Thioindigo has led to its use in studies of molecular photophysics and luminescent materials. Furthermore, Thioindigo compounds can serve as versatile building blocks for the synthesis of other complex molecules and materials.
