1,2-Difluorobenzene(1,2-DFB) has been used to study the mechanism of dissociation of o-, m- and p-difluorobenzene ions by threshold photoelectron photoion coincidence spectroscopy. It has been used to study the room temperature adsorption of 1,2-DFB, 1,2-dichlorobenzene and 1,2-dibromobenzene on Si(100)2x1 by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and temperature programmed desorption. It is used as solvent in electrochemical studies on transition metal complexes. It is also applied as a solvent useful for electrochemical studies on transition metal complexes.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
