Preparation of C8S3 Dye-Derived DWNTs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
C8S3 dye (3,3’-bis(2-sulfopropyl)-5,5’,6,6’-tetrachloro-1,1’-dioctylbenzimidacarbocyanine, MW = 903 g/mol) was purchased from FEW Chemicals (Wolfen, Germany), and was used as received. C8S3 DWNTs were prepared via the alcoholic route detailed in Ref.5 (link). In brief, 2.32 mM monomer stock was prepared by dissolving C8S3 dye molecules in methanol (Biosolve BV). This was followed by the addition of milli-Q water to the monomer stock solution in the ratio 1:0.26 v/v. There was an immediate change in colour from orange to pink, which is an indication of self-assembly of the monomers, resulting in the formation of DWNTs. The resulting solution was stored for 15 – 18 h at room temperature in a dark place. Following this, 1 mL milli-Q water was added, resulting in a final C8S3 dye concentration of 0.267 mM, and 9% (w/w) methanol in DWNT solution.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
