Description and Uses

Fluoranthene is a polycyclic hydrocarbon anda colorless crystalline solid. Molecular weight=202.26;Boiling point=about 375C; Freezing/Meltingpoint=111C. Hazard Identification (based on NFPA-704M Rating System): Health 0, Flammability 1, Reactivity 0.Virtually insoluble in water.

Fluoranthene can be used as a starting material in the synthesis of:

• Polyfluoranthene (PFA) based conducting polymer (PFA) by electrochemical anodic oxidation using Lewis acid catalyst.
• Substituted fluorenones.
• Fluorescence-emitting oligofluoranthene (OFA) nanorods by oxidative oligomerization.
