CAS 883-20-5: 9-Methylphenanthrene
Description:9-Methylphenanthrene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) characterized by its fused aromatic rings and a methyl group attached to the phenanthrene structure at the 9-position. It has a molecular formula of C15H12, indicating it consists of 15 carbon atoms and 12 hydrogen atoms. This compound is typically a solid at room temperature and exhibits a high melting point, which is characteristic of many PAHs due to their planar structures and strong π-π stacking interactions. 9-Methylphenanthrene is known for its hydrophobic nature, making it relatively insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. It is often studied for its environmental persistence and potential carcinogenic properties, as many PAHs are associated with adverse health effects. Additionally, it can be found in fossil fuels and is a byproduct of incomplete combustion processes. Its presence in the environment raises concerns regarding pollution and human exposure, prompting research into its behavior and effects in various ecosystems.
