Chrysene Specification

Chrysene, with the CAS NO.218-01-9, has the synonyms of 1,2-Benzophenanthrene; 1,2-Benzphenanthrene; Benz(a)phenanthrene; Benzo[a]Phenanthrenee; Rcra waste number U050. Chrysene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) with the molecular formula C18H12 that consists of four fused benzene rings. It is also found in creosote, a chemical used to preserve wood. Chrysene is used in the manufacture of some dyes.

Physical properties about Chrysene are: (1)ACD/LogP: 5.729; (2)# of Rule of 5 Violations: 1; (3)ACD/LogD (pH 5.5): 5.73; (4)ACD/LogD (pH 7.4): 5.73; (5)ACD/BCF (pH 5.5): 13312.29; (6)ACD/BCF (pH 7.4): 13312.29; (7)ACD/KOC (pH 5.5): 31169.38; (8)ACD/KOC (pH 7.4): 31169.38; (9)Index of Refraction: 1.771; (10)Molar Refractivity: 79.78 cm3; (11)Molar Volume: 191.781 cm3; (12)Polarizability: 31.627 10-24cm3; (13)Surface Tension: 53.5410003662109 dyne/cm; (14)Density: 1.19 g/cm3; (15)Flash Point: 209.141 °C; (16)Enthalpy of Vaporization: 67.926 kJ/mol; (17)Boiling Point: 447.998 °C at 760 mmHg

When you are using Chrysene, please be cautious about it as the following:
1. Avoid exposure - obtain special instruction before use;
2. In case of accident or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately (show label where possible);
3. This material and/or its container must be disposed of as hazardous waste;
4. Avoid release to the environment. Refer to special instructions safety data sheet;
5. Wear suitable protective clothing and gloves;
6. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice;

You can still convert the following datas into molecular structure:
