Application

  • Synthesis of High-Quality Perovskite Nanocrystals: Utilizing bromobenzene for aliphatic nucleophilic substitution enabled the synthesis of high-quality cesium lead bromide perovskite nanocrystals, which are critical in optoelectronic applications (Li et al., 2019).
  • Noncatalytic Bromination of Benzene: This study demonstrated the necessary conditions for the noncatalytic bromination of benzene to produce bromobenzene, providing valuable information for industrial synthesis processes (Shernyukov et al., 2016).
