CAS 259-79-0: Biphenylene

Description:Biphenylene is an aromatic hydrocarbon characterized by its unique structure, which consists of two fused benzene rings, resulting in a planar, cyclic arrangement of carbon atoms. Its molecular formula is C12H8, and it exhibits a distinctive stability due to resonance, allowing for delocalized π-electrons across the structure. Biphenylene is typically a colorless to pale yellow solid at room temperature and is known for its high melting point and boiling point relative to other hydrocarbons. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as benzene and toluene. The compound is of interest in materials science and organic electronics due to its potential applications in organic semiconductors and as a precursor for more complex polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Additionally, biphenylene can participate in various chemical reactions, including electrophilic substitution, making it a subject of study in organic synthesis and reactivity. Its CAS number is 259-79-0, which is used for identification in chemical databases and regulatory contexts.
