Dibenzo perylene

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.

Finally, three additional individual data matrices were obtained for soil (so1 so2, and so3), in this case with the same number of samples (rows) for each of them. A new soil data matrix (SO) was obtained after individual matrix concatenation containing 36 samples in total (12 samples analyzed in 3 sampling campaigns) (see Fig. 7). Fifteen variables (all of them detected in SE as well) were measured in every sample PAHs (acenaphtylene, phenanthrene, anthracene, fluoranthene, pyrene, benzo(a)anthracene, chrysene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(a)pyrene, indeno (l,2,3-cd)pyrene, dibenzo(a,h)anthracene, and benzo(g,h,i)perylene), an organophosphate compound (tributylphosphate), and an OC (4,4 -DDE).

In practice, we have utilized it for the analysis of molecular systems comprised of 3 to 5 fused benzene rings. Our discussion in this document is limited to the following compounds phenanthrene, anthracene, fluoranthene, pyrene, benz(a)anthracene, chrysene, benzo(e)pyrene, benzo(a)pyrene, and dibenz(a,h)anthracene. The structures for these compounds are presented in Table I. It is important to note that the method has also been adapted to the determination of several other PAH compounds (e.g., benzo(c)phenanthrene, perylene, 3-methylcholanthrene, carbazole, 7H-dibenzo(c,g)carbazole, and indeno(l,2,3-cd)pyrene). 

In most cases the ef-values closely follow the conjugation pattern anticipated by the Clar aromatic sextet theory [12, 126], Three typical examples of this kind are perylene (1), dibenzo[g,p]chrisene (2) and coronene (3) ... 

The siimples were analysed by fluorescence spectroscopy at the conditions for each specific PAH [5] previously determined with the model compounds. The PAH studied are those listed by the US Environmental Protection Agency as priority pollutants [6] Fluorene, Benzo(a)Pyrene, Pyrene, Chrysene, Anthracene, Acenaphthene, Bezo(a)Anthracene, Dibenzo(a,h)Anthracene, Coronene, Perylene and Benzo(k)fluoranthene. In addition, Coronene emissions were also reported due to their important role on PAH stabilization at extreme conditions [7]. These 16 PAH were analysed from all runs in each of the four samples.

At one point in this 1-ring buildup there are three possible isomers (Figure 2). The 7-ring dibenzo[e,ghi]perylene has three nonequivalent bay regions. A two-carbon addition to each of these will produce three different 8-ring PAHs. Two of these were previously known before this work,benzo[a]coronene and benzo[pqr]naphtho[8,l, 2-bcd]pery lene. The third was not, but a unknown compound was found which almost co eluted in the HPLC with benzo[a]coronene. This was isolated and shown to be the third isomer [5]. This can be taken as a tacit proof of the 1-ring buildup path. 

Under higher-temperature operation, some other PAHs of 7 and 9 rings were found. The 7-ring PAHs were the isomers dibenzo[cd,lm]perylene andnaphtho[8,l, 2-bcd]perylene. 

The HPLC methods cannot be used to routinely monitor the other PAHs because the instrumentation is rather sophisticated and data interpretation and analysis requires a high level of expertise. Instead simple UV absorbance methods are used to measure the absorbance at wavelengths characteristic of certain key PAHs. These include 305 nm for coronene, 335 nm for pyrene, 345 nm for dibenzo[cdJm]perylene, and 495 nm for dinaphtho[2,l,8,7-defg 2, r8, 7 -opqr]pentacene. Tracking of each of these absorbances from process startup allows process engineers to follow the buildup of the PAHs and gain an idea of the chemistry going on within the process.
