Application

(2-Ethylhexyl)magnesium bromide (Grignard reagent) can be used in the synthesis of:       
  • 3-ethyl-N,N-dimethyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl)heptan-1-amine, a pyridyl amine ligand, which is used in the polymerization of olefins.   
  •  Diphenylbis(2-ethylhexyl) germane from diphenylgermanium dichloride by Grignard addition reaction.       
  • Dichloro (dodecyl) 2-ethylhexylsilane, a key intermediate that is used in the preparation of silafluorene-based copolymers.

A series of silafluorene-based copolymers, poly[9-(2-ethylhexyl)-9-dodecyl-silafluorene-2,7-diyl-alt-5,5-(4',7'-di-2-thienyl-2',1',3'-benzothiadiazole)] (P1), poly[9-(2-ethylhexyl)-9-dodecyl-silafluorene-2,7-diyl-alt-2,5-bis-(thiophene-2-yl)thiazolo [5,4-d]thiazole] (P2), and poly[9-(2-ethylhexyl)-9-dodecyl-silafluorene-2,7-diyl-alt-5,5-(5',8'-di-2-thienyl-2,3-bis(4-octyloxyl)phenyl)quinoxaline] (P3), were synthesized and used as donor materials in polymer solar cells (PSCs). The optical, electrochemical, and photovoltaic properties of the copolymers were investigated. The results indicate that
