Pentabromobenzyl acrylate
Pentabromobenzyl acrylate (CAS 59447-55-1), with the chemical formula C10H5Br5O2 and a molecular weight of 556.67 g/mol, is a highly brominated acrylate monomer. Its structure lends itself to applications requiring high refractive index and flame retardancy. This compound serves as a valuable building block in polymer science and materials development, particularly for advanced optical and electronic applications.

High Refractive Index Materials
Pentabromobenzyl acrylate can be polymerised to create materials with a significantly high refractive index, making them suitable for optical components, lenses, and coatings in photonic devices.
Flame Retardant Polymers
The substantial bromine content in this molecule contributes to flame retardant properties when incorporated into polymer chains. This is crucial for applications in electronics, construction, and textiles where fire safety is paramount.
Advanced Polymer Synthesis
As a functional monomer, it can be used in copolymerisation to modify the properties of existing polymers, enhancing their thermal stability, refractive index, or flame resistance for specialised industrial uses.
Organic Electronics Research
Its unique chemical structure makes it a candidate for use in research and development for organic and printed electronics, potentially contributing to new conductive or semiconductive materials.
