In ], the ] '''triphenylene''' is a flat ] (PAH) consisting of four fused ] rings. Triphenylene can be isolated from ] but is also made synthetically using benzyn chemistry. One molecule of triphenylene has delocalized 18-''π''-electron systems based on a planar structure. It has the molecular formula C<sub>18</sub>H<sub>12</sub>. '''Triphenylene''' is an ] with the formula (C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>4</sub>)<sub>3</sub>. A flat ] (PAH), it consists of four fused ] rings. Triphenylene has delocalized 18-''π''-electron systems based on a planar structure, corresponding to the ] ''D''<sub>3h</sub>. It is a white or colorless solid.


==Preparation==
Triphenylene is a fully benzenoid PAH, meaning its structure is composed only of full benzene rings interconnected by carbon-carbon single bonds. The three benzene rings can be drawn as the three outer rings, with the central ring formed by one face of each and the three carbon-carbon single bonds.
Triphenylene can be isolated from ]. It can also be synthesized in various ways. One method is ] of ].<ref>{{OrgSynth |first1=H. |last1=Heaney |first2=I. T. |last2=Millar |year=1960 |title=Triphenylene |volume=40 |pages=105 |doi=10.15227/orgsyn.040.0105}}</ref> Another method involves trapping benzyne with a biphenyl derivative.<ref>{{cite journal |doi=10.15227/orgsyn.099.0174|author=Katie A.

== Properties ==
Being a fully bezenoid PAH means that triphenylene is much more ] stable than its isomers ], anthracene]], phenanthrene]] and ]. This makes it much more difficult to hydrogenate to the saturated hydrocarbon.

As a disc-shaped, planar molecule, triphenylene has attracted attention as the core of discotic ] in ]line materials.<ref>{{Citation|last=Janietz|first=Dietmar|title=Liquid Crystals at Interfaces|date=2001|url=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/B9780125139106500141|work=Handbook of Surfaces and Interfaces of Materials|pages=436–437|publisher=Elsevier|language=en|doi=10.1016/b978-012513910-6/50014-1|isbn=978-0-12-513910-6|access-date=2020-08-23}}</ref>
In light of these characteristics, triphenylene may have uses in ] and ]. Triphenylene is a disc-shaped molecule with a planar structure and three-fold rotation axes. Consisting of colorless needle-like crystals, it emits bluish purple ] by ] irradiation.{{Fact|date=September 2011}}

In terms of its ], the symmetry of triphenylene is classified as ''D<sub>3h</sub>'' in ]. Because of these characteristics, six-fold (in the 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, and 11 positions) alkyloxy- or alkylthiol-substituted triphenylenes can be used as a discotic ] in ]line materials.
