9-Bromophenanthrene

Description:

9-Bromophenanthrene is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which consists of a phenanthrene backbone with a bromine atom substituted at the 9-position. This polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) exhibits typical properties associated with such compounds, including a relatively high melting point and low solubility in water, but good solubility in organic solvents like benzene and dichloromethane. The presence of the bromine atom introduces unique reactivity, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis and a subject of study in environmental chemistry due to its potential role as a pollutant. 9-Bromophenanthrene can undergo various chemical reactions, including electrophilic substitution and nucleophilic displacement, which are common for brominated aromatic compounds. Additionally, it may exhibit fluorescence properties, making it of interest in materials science and photonics. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks, including potential carcinogenic effects typical of many PAHs.
