Phenylene–ethynylene–anthracene copolymer was used as the emitter in triplet–triplet annihilation upconversion outperforming well-known poly(phenylene–vinylene)s.

A M2L4 cage with D4 symmetry was self-assembled from four anthracene-bridged benzimidazole ligands and two Pd(II) ions. The cage features a concise hydrophobic pocket wrapped up by the anthracene walls with eight hydrogen-bond donors pointing inward, which provide a specific binding site for nitrate, with a binding affinity at least two orders of magnitude higher than all the other anions scree...

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(16)H(13)NO(2), adjacent mol-ecules are linked through C-H⋯π and π-π [centroid-centroid distances = 3.844 (2) Å] contacts. The anthracene ring system and dimethyl-amino group are oriented at a dihedral angle of 38.4 (1)°. In the crystal, the mean planes of adjacent anthracene units are inclined at angles of 59.3 (1), 75.7 (1) and 76.0 (1)°.

Treatment with either a flavone or benz(alpha)anthracene before the addition of a potent carcinogen, benzo(alpha)pyrene or 3-methylcholanthrene, enhanced the transformation of Syrian hamster cells that are seeded in order to form colonies. 7,8-benzoflavone and benz(alpha)anthracene prevented the cytotoxicity by the carcinogens, while 5,6-benzoflavone did not. The results clearly indicate that i...

In this paper, we added CdSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) into anthracene-contained polymer. The photoluminescent (PL) characteristic of polymer/QD composite film could identify the energy transitions of anthracene-contained polymer and QDs. Furthermore, the electroluminescent (EL) characteristic of hybrid LED also identifies emission peaks of blue polymer and QDs. The maximum luminescence...

In the title compound, C20H17NO3 (alternative name: N-hy-droxy-9,10-dimethyl-9,10-ethano-anthracene-11,12-dicarboximide), the rigid ethano-anthracene-dicarboximide moiety has a roof-shaped geometry, the inter-planar angle between the two terminal phenyl rings being 124.9 (6)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [010]. C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actio...

In the title compound, C24H18S, the dihedral angles between the phenyl ring and the two benzene rings of the anthracene moiety are 51.92 (9) and 68.24 (9)°, whereas the dihedral angle between the two anthracene benzene rings is 120.13 (9)°. The three non-aromatic six-membered rings are in boat conformations, while the five-membered ring has an envelope conformation on the S atom. In the crystal...

The title compound, C(16)H(16)O(8), is a potent nonspecific phyto-toxin. The crystal structure is the average of two tauto-mers, 5,6,7,9,10-penta-hydr-oxy-2-meth-oxy-7-methyl-1,4,5,6,7,8-hexa-hydro-anthracene-1,4-dione and 1,4,5,6,7-pentahydr-oxy-2-meth--oxy-7-methyl-5,6,7,8,9,10-hexa-hydro-anthracene-9,10-di-one. The cyclo-hexene rings in both tautomers display a half-chair conformation. An ex...

Cytogenetic studies on 64 rat leukemias induced with 7,8,12- and 6,8,12-trimethylbenz(a)anthracene were performed. Highly distinctive changes were found repeatedly in one special pair of chromosomes. 10 leukemias (15.6%) showed the presence of stemline(s) with trisomy of the largest telocentric chromosome (C-1 trisomy). Another chromosome abnormality, elongation of one of the pairs of the same ...

The title co-crystal, C8H3Br2NO2·0.5C14H10, was self-assembled from a 2:1 mixture of the components in slowly evaporating di-chloro-methane. The mol-ecules adopt a sheet structure parallel to (1-12) in which carb-oxy hydrogen-bonded dimers and anthracene mol-ecules stagger in both dimensions. Within the sheets, six individual cyano acid mol-ecules surround each anthracene mol-ecule. Cyano acid ...
