Introduction
Fluoranthene
Chemical Formula: C₁₆H₁₀
Classification: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) with a fused four-ring system (three benzene rings + one cyclopentene ring).
Physical Properties
- Appearance: Yellow crystalline solid.
- Odor: Faint aromatic odor.
- Fluorescence: Emits light under UV radiation.
Applications
- Environmental Science:
- Model compound for studying PAH behavior, toxicity, and environmental persistence.
- Research Tools:
- Fluorescent probe in biochemical and material studies.
- Material Synthesis:
- Building block for organic electronic materials and dyes.
Safety Considerations ⚠️
- Environmental Impact:
- Persistent pollutant; found in coal tar, crude oil, and combustion byproducts (e.g., vehicle exhaust).
- Health Risks:
- Suspected carcinogen; handle with PPE (gloves, lab coat).
- Storage:
- Keep in a cool, dark, dry place away from light and oxidizing agents.
Summary:
Fluoranthene’s four-ring PAH structure and fluorescence make it valuable in environmental and material research. Its carcinogenic potential and environmental persistence necessitate careful handling and disposal.
