Rubrene is an organic semiconductor used in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic field-effect transistors. It is used as a sensitizer in chemoluminesence. It is also used to prepare single crystal transistors. It acts as a reagent for chemiluminescence research and for transition metal complex ligation. Further, it is used as a p-type organic semiconductor.

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.
