Pyrenebutyricamide-PEG5-amine, TFA salt

Pyrenebutyricamide-PEG5-amine, TFA salt is a molecule featuring a polycyclic benzene framework known as pyrene ligated to a PEG-amine. The amine may participate in a variety of reactions such as coupling with carboxylic acids. Meanwhile, pyrene is a versatile material which may be derivatized to form fluorescent dyes or used in the surface functionalization of carbon nanotubes or graphene-derivatives to provide stability through pi-pi stacking between the pyrene and the aromatic rings of these compounds.
