Description

Application
The application of anthracene includes its use in the manufacture of dyes and pigments in scintillation counters for radiation detection and in the production of organic semiconductors and other advanced materials.

Purpose
The purpose of anthracene is to act as a key raw material (intermediate) in chemical processes especially for producing derivatives like anthraquinone that are widely used in industrial applications.

General Description
Anthracene is an organic compound made up of three fused benzene rings and is commonly obtained from coal tar it appears as a colorless crystalline solid with a faint aromatic odor.
