9,10-Dibromoanthracene Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Yellow to yellow-green fluffy powder

Uses

9,10-Dibromoanthracene is a dibrominated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH). 9,10-Dibromoanthracene is often used as an energy acceptor and activator in reactions that produce chemiluminescence.

Purification Methods

Recrystallise it from toluene, xylene or CCl4 (yellow needles), and sublime it in a vacuum [Johnston et al. J Am Chem Soc 109 1291 1987]. [Heilbron & Heaton Org Synth Coll Vol I 207 1941, Beilstein 5 H 665.]
