1,7-Dimethyl-9H-fluorene, with the CAS number 442-66-0, is an organic compound belonging to the class of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). It features a fluorene backbone, which consists of a fused ring system comprising a phenyl group and a cyclopentane ring. The presence of two methyl groups at the 1 and 7 positions of the fluorene structure contributes to its unique chemical properties. This compound is typically characterized by its solid state at room temperature, exhibiting a white to pale yellow crystalline appearance. It is relatively insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as benzene and toluene. 1,7-Dimethyl-9H-fluorene is of interest in various fields, including materials science and organic electronics, due to its potential applications in the development of organic semiconductors and light-emitting devices. Additionally, like other PAHs, it may pose environmental and health concerns, necessitating careful handling and assessment of its toxicity and environmental impact.
