Phenanthrene, with the chemical formula C14H10, is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) composed of three fused benzene rings. It is a colorless, crystalline solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as benzene and ether. Phenanthrene is known for its characteristic aromatic odor and is often found in coal tar and as a byproduct of incomplete combustion of organic materials. It has a melting point of around 100 °C and a boiling point of approximately 340 °C. Phenanthrene is used in various applications, including the production of dyes, plastics, and as a precursor for the synthesis of other chemical compounds. It is also studied for its potential biological effects, as some PAHs are known to be carcinogenic. Due to its environmental persistence, phenanthrene can be a pollutant in soil and water, necessitating monitoring and regulation in industrial contexts. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks upon exposure.
