Phenanthrene (purified by sublimation) TCI P2877

Phenanthrene (purified by sublimation) from TCI is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon made of three benzene rings fused in an angular arrangement. The product is purified by sublimation, a technique commonly used to obtain organic solids at a purity level suitable for materials research. In materials science laboratories, phenanthrene serves as a model compound and a starting material for research on organic semiconductors, molecular conductors and organic crystals. It is a useful reference compound for scientists studying how molecular structure affects electronic and optical behaviour in the solid state.

Researchers choose phenanthrene for its characteristic conjugated pi-electron system, its flat molecular shape and its ability to form ordered crystal packing. These properties matter in studies of charge transport, charge-transfer complexes and photophysical phenomena such as fluorescence. Sublimation reduces impurities that could act as charge traps or interfere with optical measurements. This makes experimental results more reliable and easier to reproduce from one research batch to the next. For work where trace contaminants can distort conductivity or emission data, a sublimation-purified grade gives a cleaner and more consistent starting point than material that has not been purified this way.

In Indonesia, this material is relevant to materials physics, physical chemistry and electrical engineering laboratories that study organic electronics, sensors or the optical properties of aromatic molecules. University research groups and institutional laboratories can use it in thesis projects, fundamental studies on molecular conductors and comparison experiments with other polycyclic aromatic compounds. Because it comes from an established reagent brand, research teams can plan multi-stage experiments with confidence that the starting material is well defined.

• Organic semiconductor research: the conjugated pi-electron system and planar structure make phenanthrene a practical model compound for studying how charge moves through organic solids.
• Molecular conductor studies: its ability to form ordered crystal packing supports investigations into the link between molecular arrangement and electrical conductivity in organic materials.
• Charge-transfer complex preparation: as an electron-rich aromatic hydrocarbon, phenanthrene can act as a component in charge-transfer complexes studied for their electronic and structural properties.
• Photophysical and fluorescence measurements: sublimation reduces impurities that interfere with optical signals, so researchers get cleaner data when they study emission and absorption behaviour.
• Organic crystal growth experiments: the purified solid is a suitable starting material for growing organic crystals used to examine packing, defects and solid-state properties.

• Grade: purified by sublimation

Keep phenanthrene in a tightly closed original container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight, heat sources and strong oxidizing agents. Use clean, dry glass or compatible containers and close them promptly after use to protect the purified material from moisture and contamination. Handle the compound in a fume hood or well-ventilated area and avoid creating or breathing in dust. Wear suitable personal protective equipment, including gloves, safety glasses and a lab coat. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Always check the Safety Data Sheet from TCI before use and dispose of waste according to local laboratory and environmental regulations.
