9,10-Bis(phenylethynyl)anthracene (BPEA) is an aromatic hydrocarbon displaying strong fluorescence. It is used as a chemiluminescent fluorophore with high quantum efficiency. Its chemical formula is C30H18. It has the form of orange needle crystals with melting point of 252-258 °C.
It is used in lightsticks as a fluorophor producing glostly green light. It is also used as a dopant for organic semiconductors in OLEDs.
Its CAS number is [10075-85-1][link] and its SMILES structure is c23c(C#Cc5ccccc5) c1ccccc1c (C#Cc4ccccc4) c2cccc3. Its risk and safety phrases are R36/37/38 S26 S36 S37/39 S45 S28A.
The emission wavelength can be lowered by substituting the anthracene core by halogens or alkyls. 2-ethyl and 1,2-dimethyl substituted BPEAs are also in use.
