Anthracenes, list

Among the 1,3-linked bichromophoric anthracenes listed in Table 3, 1,3-di-9-anthryl-l-propanone 21a, l,3-di-9-anthryl-l-butanone 21b, and l,3-di-9-anthryl-2-methyl-l-propanone 21c are exceptional because their photochemical isomerization by intramolecular 4n+4n cycloaddition to give 22 is characterized by high quantum yields, viz. 0.65, 0.40, and 0.72, respectively. For photochemical cycloadditions of linked anthracenes, the quantum yield of 0.72 is the highest ever observed. Oxygen quenching and sensitization experiments indicate that 21a, 21b, and 21c undergo the 4n+4n cycloaddition in the excited triplet state (see Section II.C). 

The next calibration concerns the area of the DSC trace or the amplitude at any one temperature. The peak area below the baseline in Fig. 4.62 can be compared with the melting peaks of standard materials such as the benzoic acid, urea, indium, or anthracene, listed at the bottom of the figure. The amplitudes measured from the baseline established in the heat-capacity mode of measurement are usually compared with the heat capacity of standard aluminum oxide in the form of sapphire. The heat capacity of sapphire is free of transitions over a wide temperature range and has been...

The production of coke involves the heating of coal in the absence of air, called the carbonization or destructive distillation of coal. Carbonization, besides its main purpose of production of coke, also results in a coproduct called coke oven gas from which various liquid products such as tar, benzol, naphthalene, phenol, and anthracene are separated. There are two main types of carbonization based on the temperature to which the coal is heated in the absence of air. One type is low-temperature carbonization (LTC) the other is high-temperature carbonisation (HTC). Some features of LTC and HTC are listed in Table 1.28. The LTC Process is mainly carried out to manufacture domestic smokeless fuel. This presentation, however, concentrates on the HTC process by which metallurgical coke is produced. 

It can be seen that a large variety of 9-substituted anthracenes dimerize upon irradiation. There are a few, however, from which no dimers have yet been isolated. Although at this point it is difficult to say what determines whether a particular derivative will dimerize or not, it would appear from the above lists that the controlling factor cannot be steric in nature since the relatively crowded 9-cyclohexyl anthracene dimerizes whereas 9-phenyl-anthracene does not. This result would tend to indicate that electronic effects of the substituents may influence the dimerization. 

This list includes BP, 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene, 3-methylchol-anthrene, dibenzo[a,i]pyrene and dibenzo[a,h]pyrene. These PAH can be activated both by one-electron oxidation and/or monooxygenation. There are a few PAH with low IP which are inactive (Table I), such as perylene, or weakly active, such as anthanthrene. This indicates that low IP is a necessary, but not sufficient factor for determining carcinogenic activity by one-electron oxidation. These inactive or weakly active PAH have the highest density of positive charge delocalized over several aromatic carbon atoms in their radical cations, whereas the active PAH with low IP have charge mainly localized on one or a few carbon atoms in their radical cations.

Solid benzylic halogens are easily substituted with gaseous dialkylamines. Monoalkylamines are less suitable for uniform reactions due to secondary substitution of the initial product by the benzylic halide present. Some characteristic 100% yield conversions are listed in Scheme 31. The benzene (230) and naphthalene derivatives (231) started from the solid bromides, the anthracene derivatives (232) from the solid chlorides [22]. 

A variety of events that will lead to smoke production can occur in the pyrotechnic flame. Incomplete burning of an organic fuel will produce a black, sooty flame (mainly atomic carbon). A highly-oxidized fuel such as a sugar is not likely to produce carbon. Materials such as naphthalene (C loH s) and anthracene ( C i H 101 - volatile solids with high carbon content - are good candidates for soot production. Several mixtures that will produce black smokes are listed in Table 8. 1. 

Table VII shows the rate constants and other data observed and calculated for some anthracenes in different solvents. Some values of ao2 and j8 for anthracenes in different solvents are listed in Table VIII, taken from Livingston s article.3 There are discrepancies in some j8 values reported, and the Ao2 values are not always comparable, since, for example, they may or may not depend on the oxygen concentrations applied (e.g., anthracene in benzene or carbon disulfide, respectively). Furthermore, one may suspect that A0s values greater than unity are either in error (see, however, p. 34) or indicate a secondary oxidation...

GC-MS examination of the PAH fraction of sample S2 (S2-C2) gave very similar results the total ion chromatogram is shown in Figure 5. Major constituents were phenanthrene, fluoranthene, pyrene, and methyl, dimethyl/ethylphenanthrene/anthracene. Relative abundance of some C2-alkylphenanthrenes/anthracenes were higher in this sample than in S1-C2. Smaller quantities of benzo[ghi]fluoranthene, chrysene, benzo[ajanthracene, tripheny-lene, benzo[b,j, k]fluoranthenes, and benzo[e aJpyrenes and were characterized by MS. In addition, most compounds listed in Table 1 were also detected in this sample. 

Chemical Analysis of Extracts. The extracts were analyzed by capillary column GC-MS for OCs, TAAPs, and PAHs (see the list on page 313). The GC-MS parameters used at the two laboratories are shown in Table II. The identification and quantitation were all done by using automatic routines based on a mass spectra library created from authentic standards of the selected compounds. Compounds were located by searching the reconstructed ion chromatogram for each library entry within a narrow retention time window relative to the internal standard (anthracene-dio or phenanthrene-dio). Quantitation was achieved by comparison of characteristic ion areas in the field samples with ion areas of the internal standard. These ion areas were normalized by response factors established by comparison of ion ratios of a standard mixture of all 66 analytes at a concentration of 2.5 ng//zL. 

Attempts to reduce anthracene with an alkali metal in acetonitrile causes solvent decomposition, whereas controlled-potential electrolysis produces stable anion radicals. Thus the working electrode of a coulometric cell can be considered as a continuously adjustable reagent, capable of producing a wide variety of radical species in diverse solvent systems. The versatility of electrochemical EPR methods is best illustrated by citing a few specific examples from the extensive literature. More complete compilations appear in the reviews listed in Appendix I, but the studies mentioned next provide some appreciation for the techniques. 

Class A. Molecules for which chemical theory predicts a planar conformation. The following is a list of the compounds discussed. Al. Benzene, naphthalene, anthracene, tetracene, pentacene, and hexacene.

Small hydrophobic cations derived from naphthalene, anthracene, and pyrene and larger molecules such as rhodamine and fluorescein can be readily intercalated into the a-ZrP galleries. Inorganic complexes, ruthenium tris bipyridine derivatives, and others can also be intercalated into the galleries of a-ZrP. This list has... 

Byrne and Ross 5> have considered diffuseness in electronic spectra and have listed some twelve causes of line broadening. In an earlier work 6> they considered in detail a trivial explanation of the broadening, namely spectral congestion, with particular reference to the related molecules benzene, naphthalene, anthracene and tetracene. They showed that for the first three molecules spectral fine structure should be observable under the appropriate experimental conditions, but that for tetracene under practical experimental conditions no resolvable fine structure...
