PAH's Flashcards
Poly Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH’s)
Multiple benzene rings joined together on the edge to form large conjugated systems
structure of Napthalene
Did you get it?
properties of larger PAH’s
increased boiling point, lower vapor pressure, more fat soluable
structure of anthrecene
Did you get it?
structure of phenathrene
Did you get it?
structure of pyrene

Naming PAH’s
lot’s of PAH’s have their own names, but many are also marked with leter substiuants if they are a named structure with one or two extra rings.

Foirmation of PAH’s
when there isn’t enough oxygen during combustions, the loose carbons react with each other to form rings.

Decomposition of PAH’s
photodecompose quickly, but take a long time for bactera to digest

Decomposition of PAH’s
the most carcinogenc PAH’s have
a bay area, when this gets OH added to it it becomes extremely dangerous because it lets a stable carbocation form
