1-Pyrenesulfonic acid hydrate (PSA) can be used as a reactant to functionalize the surface of the graphene oxide along with tetrakis-(4-hydroxylphenyl)porphyrin (THPP). The synthesized graphene oxide nanohybrid (GO/THPP/PSA) material exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity for the production of hydrogen. It is also used as a building block to prepare pyrene-containing organostannoxanes by reacting with various organotin precursors.
1-Pyrenesulfonic acid hydrate is a pyrene derivative. The synthesis of 1-pyrenesulfonic acid has been reported. 1-pyrenesulfonic acid has been reported to react with organotin precursors to form pyrene-containing organostannoxanes. The non-covalent functionalization of boron nitride nanoflakes (BNNFs) and single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) by 1-pyrenesulfonic acid has been investigated.
