Except where noted otherwise, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C, 100 kPa)Infobox references Diphenylhexatriene is a fluorescent hydrocarbon used in the study of cell membranes. It is almost non-fluorescent in water, but it exhibits strong fluorescence when it is intercalated into lipid membranes.[2][3]
