Benzene-D₆ Applications

Benzene-D₆ (deuterobenzene) is a common solvent in NMR spectrometry1. It is also an important component of special catalytically active synthetic zeolytes 2. Deuterobenzene use has additionally emerged in the synthesis of deuterobenzene-cored fluorophores for the OLED manufacturing process3. Although current research concentrates on the stability of blue light in OLEDs, the deuterated benzene derivative could show improved stability of the orange light as a side effect4.

Additional applications include both conventional and organic photovoltaic cells, where benzene naphthalene coupling is routinely used.  For these applications, the perdeuteration of benzene may improve the stability and longevity of photovoltaic cells 5. Although the primary literature in this field is still developing, current findings suggest the deuteration of benzene would increase the stability of the conjugated microporous polymers6,7 used in gas adsorption, heterogeneous catalysis, light emission, light-harvesting, and electrical energy storage8,9.
