4,5-Phenanthrenedicarboxylic acid

Description:

4,5-Phenanthrenedicarboxylic acid, with the CAS number 5462-82-8, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a phenanthrene backbone with two carboxylic acid groups (-COOH) located at the 4 and 5 positions. This compound is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid and is sparingly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone. It exhibits strong acidic properties due to the presence of the carboxylic acid groups, which can participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and amidation. The compound is of interest in organic synthesis and materials science, particularly in the development of polymers and as a building block for more complex molecules. Additionally, it may exhibit interesting photophysical properties, making it a candidate for applications in organic electronics and photonic devices. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with all chemical substances, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
