aromatic hydrocarbon with the chemical formula is C30H18. It displays strongfluorescence and is used as achemiluminescent fluorophore with highquantum efficiency .It is used in
lightstick s as afluorophor producing ghostly green light. It is also used as adopant fororganic semiconductor s in OLEDs.The emission wavelength can be lowered by substituting the
anthracene core byhalogen s oralkyl s. 2-ethyl and 1,2-dimethyl substituted BPEAs are also in use.
