Tetratetracontane may be used in a passivation layer in copper-phthalocyanine field-effect transistors for improving the charge carrier mobility. It may be used to modify the quasi two-dimensional surface electron system on Au(111), which was investigated by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy.
ChEBI: A long-chain alkane consisting of an unbranched chain of 44 carbon atoms.
Tetratetracontane is a long chain alkane. It is the main constituents of essential oils from Euphorbia macroclada. Coadsorption of tetratetracontane and [Na(H2O)P5W30O110] results in single, isolated surfactant-encapsulated clusters on a buffer layer of tetratetracontane, which was determined by scanning tunneling microscopy. Thermooxidative degradation of tetratetracontane has been reported.
