Specification
Description
Fluorene , or 9H-fluorene, is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon. It forms White crystals that exhibit a characteristic, aromatic odor similar to that of naphthalene. It is combustible. It has a violet fluorescence, hence its name. For commercial purposes it is obtained from coal tar. It is insoluble in water and soluble in many organic solvents.
