Acenaphthylene

Description:
Acenaphthylene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) characterized by its fused naphthalene structure, consisting of a bicyclic arrangement of carbon atoms. It appears as a colorless to pale yellow solid at room temperature and has a distinct aromatic odor. Acenaphthylene is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as benzene and toluene. Its molecular formula is C12H8, and it has a melting point that typically falls within a specific range, while its boiling point is considerably higher, reflecting its stability as a solid at ambient conditions. Acenaphthylene is known for its potential applications in organic synthesis and materials science, particularly in the production of dyes and as a precursor for other chemical compounds. However, like many PAHs, it is also recognized for its environmental persistence and potential health risks, including carcinogenic properties. Proper handling and safety measures are essential when working with this compound in laboratory or industrial settings.
