- Density (predicted): 1.53 g/cm3
- Hygroscopy: Non-hygroscopic under normal humidity
- Aqueous property: Insoluble in water, neutral solid, stable in neutral and weak acid environment
Chemical Properties
- Molecular structure: Carbazole fused aromatic heterocycle with bromine substitution at the 1-position, contains reactive NH group and aryl bromide site
- Aryl halide coupling: C1 bromine atom is active for Suzuki, Buchwald, Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions to construct conjugated organic molecules
- N-H reactivity: The nitrogen hydrogen on carbazole ring can be alkylated, arylated to modify molecular solubility and photoelectric performance
- Thermal stability: Stable below 140 ℃; above melting point slight sublimation occurs, long-time high temperature leads to partial decomposition
- Photostability: Slightly light-sensitive, long-term UV irradiation turns deeper yellow
- Compatibility: Compatible with anhydrous polar/non-polar organic solvents; incompatible with strong oxidants, strong reducing agents, concentrated strong alkali

Safety Warning
Low-toxic irritant brominated aromatic heterocyclic powder. Dust irritates eyes, nasal tract and respiratory mucosa; long-term skin contact may cause mild dry itching. All operations must be carried out in ventilated fume hood with dust-proof respirator and nitrile chemical-resistant gloves. Avoid mixing with strong reducing agents to trigger exothermic debromination reaction. Waste liquid neutralized with dilute acid before discharge; solid waste classified as bromine-containing heterocyclic fine chemical hazardous waste disposed by licensed professional institutions.
