Anthracene Chemical structure and application

by

Anthracene, a compound derived from coal tar, is known for its presence in coal tar, ranging from 0.3 to 3.5 %. Its name originates from the Greek word “anthrac,” meaning coal. When tar is distilled, anthracene separates into high-boiling fractions known as anthracene oil. Structurally, anthracene comprises three benzene rings fused in ortho positions, resulting … Read more
