8-Hydroxyquinoline is used as an antiseptic and disinfectant. Its alcoholic solution is used in liquid bandages. It is used to prepare tris(8-hydroxyquinolinato)aluminum, which finds application as a component of organic light-emitting diodes (OLED's). It is also used as a reagent and as a stabilizer of hydrogen peroxide in a rocket fuel oxidizer. It is used as a chelating agent and used as a carrier for radio-indium for diagnostic purposes. Its halogenated derivatives are used as anti-infective agents and oral antiamebics.
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.
Applications
8-Hydroxyquinoline is used as an antiseptic and disinfectant. Its alcoholic solution is used in liquid bandages. It is used to prepare tris(8-hydroxyquinolinato)aluminum, which finds application as a component of organic light-emitting diodes (OLED′s). It is also used as a reagent and as a stabilizer of hydrogen peroxide in a rocket fuel oxidizer. It is used as a chelating agent and used as a carrier for radio-indium for diagnostic purposes. Its halogenated derivatives are used as anti-infective agents and oral antiamebics.
