Description

5-Methylbenzo[C]Phenanthrene is a high-purity polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) derivative, serving as a critical intermediate and reference standard in advanced chemical research and development. Its well-defined structure makes it an essential building block for synthesizing complex organic materials and for analytical calibration in environmental and industrial monitoring. This compound is primarily utilized by research institutions, analytical laboratories, and specialty chemical manufacturers focused on materials science, environmental toxicology, and organic electronics.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Used as a certified standard for the quantification and identification of PAHs in environmental samples (soil, water, air) and consumer products via GC-MS or HPLC.
• Organic Electronic Materials Research: Serves as a precursor or dopant in the development of organic semiconductors, light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), and photovoltaic materials due to its conjugated aromatic system.
• Biochemical & Toxicological Studies: Employed in laboratory research to study the metabolic pathways, mutagenicity, and carcinogenicity of alkylated PAHs.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a key intermediate for the synthesis of more complex polyaromatic compounds, dyes, and ligands for catalytic systems.
• Geochemical Marker: Utilized in petroleum and geochemistry research as a marker to understand thermal maturity and origin of organic matter in fossil fuels.
