Acenaphthylene is a colorless crystalline solid. Insoluble in water. Used in dye synthesis, insecticides, fungicides, and in the manufacture of plastics. Acenaphthylene is a ortho- and peri-fused tricyclic hydrocarbon that occurs in coal tar. It is an ortho- and peri-fused polycyclic arene, a member of acenaphthylenes and an ortho- and peri-fused tricyclic hydrocarbon. Acenaphthylene is a natural product found in Artemisia capillaris, Tuber borchii, and Arctostaphylos uva-ursi with data available. Acenaphthylene is one of over 100 different polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). PAHs are chemicals that are formed during the incomplete burning organic substances, such as fossil fuels. They are usually found as a mixture containing two or more of these compounds. (L10) Acenaphthylene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH). PAHs are derived naturally from coal and tar deposits, and produced by incomplete combustion of organic matter[1]. Acenaphthylene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH).
