Phenanthrene is used to make dyes, plastics, pesticides, explosives, and drugs. It has also been used to make bile acids, cholesterol and steroids. [3] Phenanthrene occurs naturally and also is a man-made chemical. Commonly, humans are exposed to phenanthrene through inhalation of cigarette smoke, but there are many routes of exposure.
It has been prepared by oxidation of phenanthrene with chromic acid. [3] It is used as an artificial mediator for electron acceptor/donor in Mo/W containing formate dehydrogenase reduction of carbon dioxide to formate and vice versa. It is a better electron acceptor than the natural nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD +).

1-Hydroxyphenanthrene is a phenanthrol and a human metabolite of phenanthrene that can be detected in urine of persons exposed to PAHs. [ 1 ] It can also be used as a marker for PAH pollution measured in marine fish bile.
A Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) is a class of organic compounds that is composed of multiple aromatic rings.Most are produced by the incomplete combustion of organic matter— by engine exhaust fumes, tobacco, incinerators, in roasted meats and cereals, [1] or when biomass burns at lower temperatures as in forest fires.

Triphenylene is more resonance stable than its isomers chrysene, benzanthracene, benzophenanthrene, and tetracene. For this reason triphenylene resists hydrogenation. [5] As a disc-shaped, planar molecule, triphenylene has attracted attention as the core of discotic mesogen in liquid crystalline materials. [6]
Benzo[c]phenanthrene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C 18 H 12. It is a white solid that is soluble in nonpolar organic solvents . It is a nonplanar molecule [ 1 ] [ 2 ] consisting of the fusion of four fused benzene rings.
