Fluorene 500G

Fluorene is a rigid, planar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon. White crystals of fluorene have violet fluorescence, from which its name derives. It is used as a precursor to other fluorene compounds. Fluorene is used as a chemical intermediate in the formation of polyradicals for resins as well as the manufacture of resinous products and dyes.[1]

Fluorene was used study the extraction of specific, semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs)[2].

As a monomer, fluorene exhibits significant solubility while maintaining a high degree of delocalization.[
