Description
3-Chlorophenanthrene (CAS No. 715-51-5) is a high-purity chlorinated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) with the molecular formula C14H9Cl. This compound is a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis and material science research, particularly in the study of halogenated PAH derivatives. Its rigid phenanthrene backbone with a chloro substituent at the 3-position makes it an ideal candidate for photophysical studies, environmental pollutant analysis, and as a building block for advanced organic materials. Available in ≥98% purity (GC), this product is supplied as a crystalline solid with strict quality control to ensure batch-to-batch consistency for research applications. Proper handling precautions should be taken due to its potential as an irritant and environmental persistence.
