Aromatic hydrocarbons

Benzene is an organic chemical compound with the molecular formula C6H6. The benzene molecule is composed of six carbon atoms joined in a planar hexagonal ring with one hydrogen atom attached to each. As it contains only carbon and hydrogen atoms, benzene is a hydrocarbon.

Triphenylmethane or triphenyl methane (sometimes also known as Tritan), is the hydrocarbon with the formula (C6H5)3CH. This colorless solid is soluble in nonpolar organic solvents and not in water. Triphenylmethane is the basic skeleton of many synthetic dyes called triarylmethane dyes, many of them are pH indicators, and some display fluorescence. A trityl group in organic chemistry is a triphenylmethyl group Ph3C, e.g. triphenylmethyl chloride (trityl chloride) and the triphenylmethyl radical (trityl radical).

Tetralin (1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene) is a hydrocarbon having the chemical formula C10H12. It is a partially hydrogenated derivative of naphthalene. It is a colorless liquid that is used as a hydrogen-donor solvent.

1-Methylnaphthalene is an organic compound with the formula C11H10. It is a colorless liquid. It is isomeric with 2-methylnaphthalene. It is generally obtained as a minor component of coal tar.

Terphenyls are a group of aromatic hydrocarbons. Also known as diphenylbenzenes or triphenyls, they consist of a central benzene ring substituted with two phenyl groups. There are three substitution patterns: ortho-terphenyl, meta-terphenyl, and para-terphenyl. Commercial grade terphenyl is generally a mixture of the three isomers. This mixture is used in the production of polychlorinated terphenyls, which were formerly used as heat storage and transfer agents.

Tetraphenylmethane is an organic compound consisting of a methane core with four phenyl substituents. It was first synthesized by Moses Gomberg in 1898.

In organic chemistry, arynes and benzynes are a class of highly reactive chemical species derived from an aromatic ring by removal of two substituents. Arynes are examples of didehydroarenes (1,2-didehydroarenes in this case), although 1,3- and 1,4-didehydroarenes are also known. Arynes are examples of alkynes under high strain.

Dialin (1,2-dihydronaphthalene) is a hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C10H10. It is related to naphthalene by the addition of two H atoms. It is a colorless oil. The compound can be prepared by dehydration of .

1,1,4,4-tetraphenylbutadiene (TPB) is an organic compound with the formula . Other isomers are possible, but the term usually refers to the derivative of butadiene with two phenyl group on each of the terminal carbon atoms It is a white solid that has attracted some attention as an electroluminescent dye.

2-Methylnaphthalene is a simple polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH). It is generally isolated from coal tar, of which it is a minor component.

Tetraphenylethene (TPE) is an organic chemical compound with the formula Ph2C=CPh2, where Ph = phenyl (C6H5). Samples have been described as a yellow solid, but the compound iscolorless. The molecule is crowded such that all four phenyl groups are twisted out of the plane defined by the center six carbon atoms. Tetraphenylethylene is used as a precursor to other organic compounds, often in the area of supramolecular chemistry.

Hexaphenylethane is a hypothetical organic compound consisting of an ethane core with six phenyl substituents. , all attempts at its synthesis have been unsuccessful. The trityl free radical, Ph3C, was originally thought to dimerize to form hexaphenylethane. However, an inspection of the NMR spectrum of this dimer reveals that it is in fact a non-symmetrical species, Gomberg's dimer instead.

2,6-Dimethylnaphthalene (2,6-DMN) is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon. It is one of the ten dimethylnaphthalene isomers, which are derived from naphthalene by the addition of two methyl groups.

2,6-Diisopropylnaphthalene (2,6-DIPN) is an organic compound with the formula C10H6(i-Pr)2 (where i-Pr = isopropyl). 2,6-DIPN is one of several isomers of diisopropylnaphthalene. It is a white or colorless solid.

An arylene or arenediyl is a substituent of an organic compound that is derived from an aromatic hydrocarbon (arene) and is bivalent, such as phenylene.
