2-Methylphenanthrene

Description:

2-Methylphenanthrene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) characterized by its fused ring structure, which consists of three fused benzene rings with a methyl group attached to the second position of the phenanthrene framework. This compound is typically a solid at room temperature and is known for its hydrophobic nature, making it poorly soluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. It exhibits a high melting point and boiling point relative to many other organic compounds, reflecting its stable aromatic structure. 2-Methylphenanthrene is often studied for its environmental impact, particularly in relation to combustion processes and its potential role as a pollutant. Additionally, it has been investigated for its biological activity, including potential mutagenic and carcinogenic properties, which are common among many PAHs. Its presence in various environmental matrices, such as soil and sediment, raises concerns regarding human health and ecological effects, prompting ongoing research into its behavior and degradation in the environment.
