Abstract

In Paper VI of this series,* the synthesis of some aryl-substituted fluorenes was reported along with the evaluation of these compounds as liquid scintillators. We are herewith describing the synthesis of some related phenanthrene derivatives. The compounds of initial interest in this study were 2 phenylphenanthrene (la), 2-(4-biphenylyl) phenanthrene (Tb), and 2, 7diphenylphenanthrene (IC) as well as their 9, lOdihydro derivatives (IIIa, IIIb, and ...
