Application

p-Phenylene diisothiocyanate can be used in various applications including the following:
  • Synthesis of hydroxamate containing chelators for labeling antibodies with 89Zr and 68Ga for imaging with positron emission tomography (immunoPET).
  • Synthesis of fluorescent chemosensors for Hg2+ sensing in living cells.
  • Synthesis of polythiourea derivatives as capacitor dielectric materials.
  • Synthesis of 4-isothiocyanato-4′-nitrodiphenylamine, an anthelmintic agent, popularly known as amoscanate.
