General description

2,3-Benzofluorene was identified in a coal liquid (solvent-refined coal) product by synchronous fluorescence and the room-temperature phosphorescence methods. It inhibits estradiol-dependent reporter activity in yeast.

Application

2,3-Benzofluorene was used in three way analysis of fluorescence excitation-emission matrices of mixtures of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. It was used as standard to detect the ambient particle-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by a real-time aerosol mass spectrometer.

The S(1)((1)A('))<--S(0)((1)A(')) absorption spectrum of jet-cooled 2,3-benzofluorene (Bzf) has been measured by cavity ring-down spectroscopy. The potential energy surfaces of the S(n=0,1,2) states of Bzf have been investigated with calculations based on the time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT). At the
