'''Phenanthrene''' is a ] composed of three fused ] rings. The name ''phenanthrene'' is a composite of ] and ]. In its pure form, it is found in ] and is a known ], ] skin to light.{{Citation needed|date=July 2011}} Phenanthrene appears as a white powder having blue fluorescence. '''Phenanthrene''' is a ] (PAH) with formula C<sub>14</sub>H<sub>10</sub>, consisting of three fused ] rings. It is a colorless, crystal-like solid, but can also appear yellow. Phenanthrene is used to make dyes, plastics, pesticides, explosives, and drugs. It has also been used to make bile acids, cholesterol and steroids.<ref name="factsheet">{{cite web |title=Phenanthrene Fact Sheet |url=https://archive.epa.gov/epawaste/hazard/wastemin/web/pdf/phenanth.pdf |website=archive.epa.gov |publisher=U.S. Environmental Protection Agency |access-date=19 July 2019}}</ref>


Phenanthrene occurs naturally and also is a man-made chemical. Commonly, humans are exposed to phenanthrene through inhalation of cigarette smoke, but there are many routes of exposure. Animal studies have shown that phenanthrene is a potential carcinogen.<ref name="factsheet" /> However, according to IARC, it is not identified as a probable, possible or confirmed human carcinogen.<ref>{{cite web |title=Phenanthrene |website=Sigma-Alrdich |url=https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/catalog/product/aldrich/p11409}}</ref>
The compound with a phenanthrene skeleton and nitrogens at the 4 and 5 positions is known as ].


Phenanthrene's three fused rings are angled as in the ]s, rather than straight as in the ]s. The compounds with a phenanthrene skeleton but with nitrogen atoms in place of CH sites are known as ]s.
==Chemistry==
Phenanthrene is nearly insoluble in water but is soluble in most organic solvents such as ], ], ], ], ] and ].


== History and etymology ==
A classical phenanthrene synthesis is the Bardhan-Sengupta phenanthrene synthesis.<ref>chempensoftware.com </ref>
Phenanthrene was discovered in ] in 1872 independently by ] (article manuscript received on November 1st<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Graebe |first=C. |date=1872 |title=Ueber einen neuen dem Anthracen isomeren Kohlenwasserstoff |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cwaLZrjMd0oC&pg=PA861 |journal=Berichte der deutschen chemischen Gesellschaft |language=en |volume=5 |issue=2 |pages=861–863 |doi=10.1002/cber.18720050279 |issn=0365-9496}}</ref>) as well as by ] and his doctoral student {{Ill|Eugen Ostermayer|de}} (manuscript received on November 19th<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Ostermayer |first=E. |last2=Fittig |first2=R. |date=1872 |title=Ueber einen neuen Kohlenwasserstoff aus dem Steinkohlentheer |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cwaLZrjMd0oC&pg=PA933 |journal=Berichte der deutschen chemischen Gesellschaft |language=en |volume=5 |issue=2 |pages=933–937 |doi=10.1002/cber.187200502100 |issn=0365-9496}}</ref> but Ostermayer's dissertation defended in August<ref>{{Cite book |last=Ostermayer |first=Eugen |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=K5NTAAAAcAAJ |title=Ueber einen neuen Kohlenwasserstoff im Steinkohlentheeröl: Inaugural-Dissertation |date=1872 |publisher=Druck v.

Fittig and Ostermayer were able to determine the structure of the compound by oxidizing it first to a ] and then to ], and soon Graebe confirmed it by a synthesis from ].<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Graebe |first=C. |date=1873 |title=Ueber Synthese des Phenanthrens |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=vCxJAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA125 |journal=Berichte der deutschen chemischen Gesellschaft |language=en |volume=6 |issue=1 |pages=125–127 |doi=10.1002/cber.18730060147 |issn=0365-9496}}</ref>


Prior to February 1873 Fittig sent a letter to Graebe where he proposed to name the hydrocarbon phenanthrene ({{Langx|de|Phenanthren}}) in order to account for its similarity to ] and ], which was swiftly adopted.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Graebe |first=C. |date=1873 |title=Ueber das Verhalten der Chinone beim Erhitzen mit Natronkalk |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=vCxJAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA63 |journal=Berichte der deutschen chemischen Gesellschaft |volume=6 |issue=1 |pages=63–66 |doi=10.1002/cber.18730060124 |issn=0365-9496}}</ref>

==Physical properties==
The first step is an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction, which is allowed when the diphosphorous pentoxide makes the alcohol a better leaving group. However, no alkenes outside of the initial aromatic ring are created. In the second step of this reaction 9,10-dihydrophenanthrene is oxidized with elemental ]. The aromatization of six-membered rings by selenium is not clearly understood, but it does produce H<sub>2</sub>Se.


Phenanthrene is nearly insoluble in water but is soluble in most low-polarity organic solvents such as ], ], ], ], ] and ].
Phenanthrene can also be obtained photochemically from certain ]s.

Phenanthrene is fluorescent under ultraviolet light, exhibiting a large ].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Spectrum {{!}} AAT Bioquest |url=https://www.aatbio.com/fluorescence-excitation-emission-spectrum-graph-viewer/phenanthrene |access-date=2024-07-30 |website=www.aatbio.com}}</ref> It can be used in ].

==Productions==
===Canonical forms===
Phenanthrene is extracted from coal tar, where it comprises 5% by weight.<ref name=Ullmann/>


In principle it could be obtained by chemical synthesis. The '''Bardhan–Sengupta phenanthrene synthesis''' is a classic way to make phenanthrenes.<ref>{{cite book |year= 2010 |chapter= Bardhan Sengupta Synthesis |title= Comprehensive Organic Name Reactions and Reagents |volume= 49 |pages= 215–219 |doi= 10.1002/9780470638859.conrr049 |isbn= 9780470638859 }}</ref>
Phenanthrene is more stable than its linear isomer ]. A classic and well established explanation is based on ]. A novel theory invokes so-called stabilizing ]s between the C4 and C5 hydrogen atoms.
:]


This process involves ] using a tethered ] group using ], which closes the central ring onto an existing aromatic ring. ] using ] ] the other rings into aromatic ones as well. The aromatization of six-membered rings produces ].
==Natural occurrence==
Ravatite is a natural analog of synthetic phenanthrene. It is found in small amounts among a few coal burning sites. Ravatite represents a small group of organic minerals.


Phenanthrene can also be obtained photochemically from certain ]s (]):]
