1. 7,12-Dimethylbenz[a]anthracene is converted by rat-liver homogenates into products with the properties of the 7- and 12-hydroxymethyl derivatives, the 7,12-dihydroxymethyl derivative, the related carboxylic acids and ring-hydroxylated products such as the 8,9-dihydro-8,9-dihydroxy derivative and phenols. Ring-hydroxylated products and products arising from the further oxidation of the hydrox...

A theoretical design principle for enhancement of the quantum yield of light-emitting molecules is desired. For the establishment of the principle, we focused on the S1 states of blue-emitting anthracene derivatives: 2-methyl-9,10-di(2'-naphthyl)anthracene (MADN), 4,9,10-bis(3',5'-diphenylphenyl)anthracene (MAM), 9-(3',5'-diphenylphenyl)-10-(3'',5''-diphenylbiphenyl-4''-yl) anthracene (MAT), an...

Reaction of tetrafluoropyridazine with catechol gives a tricyclic 9,10-dioxa-1,2-diaza-anthracene system by a sequential nucleophilic aromatic substitution ring annelation process, further extending the use of perfluoroheteroaromatic derivatives for the synthesis of unusual polyfunctional heterocyclic architectures. The tricyclic scaffold reacts with amines and sodium ethoxide providing a short...

The reactivity of fluorene, anthracene and fluoranthene under oxidation and reduction conditions has been investigated in this study. This project looks at catalytic and green approaches of converting PAH to less toxic and/or less stable derivatives that are amenable to further degradation. Hydrothermal reactions have been performed at 300 C with pure H2O and Nafion-SiO2 catalyst for oxidation,...

The synthesis of a small number bis(imino)anthracene derivatives is reported. They were evaluated via NMR for binding efficacy to the G-quadruplex-forming oligonucleotide sequence (TTGGGTT) and show activity against HeLa cancer cell line.

The suitability of new 9-[( E )-2-phenyl]anthracene derivatives with iodonium salt as high-performance photoinitiating systems for obtaining novel multi-material photo-curable nanocomposites resins containing dedicated to 3D-VAT printing.

The introduction of bulky tert-butyl substituents into smectic liquid-crystalline 9,10-bis(phenylethynyl)anthracene derivatives influences excimer structures and luminescence properties.
