General description

Fluoranthene (FA) belongs to the class of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are typically generated due to the incomplete burning of organic materials in the presence of oxygen in insufficient quantities. FA is regarded as an environmental indicator and is mainly used in simulation studies. It is also used in the development of a fluorescent chemosensor for the determination of explosive nitroaromatic compounds.

Application

FA may be used as an analytical standard for the determination of the analyte in food samples, oils, fats, and environmental samples by various chromatography techniques.

A novel fluoranthene based fluorescent chemosensor for the detection of picric acid (PA) at the parts per billion (ppb) level was evaluated. Static fluorescence quenching was the dominant process by intercalative π-π interaction between fluoranthene (S(1)) and nitroaromatics.

For laboratories involved in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) analyses in environmental samples, it is very useful to participate in interlaboratory comparison studies which provide a mechanism for comparing analytical methods. This is particularly important when PAH analyses are routinely done
