Other Experimental
Vapor pressure = 0.01 mm Hg at 20 °C;Most reactive at positions 3 and 8; reduction with sodium in ethanol gives tetrahydrofluoranthene; can be chlorinated, brominated and nitrated relatively easily. Concentrated sulfuric acid gives a mono- and a disulfonic acid. Numerous Friedel-Crafts reactions have been carried out with fluoranthene; reacts with nitrogen monoxide and nitrogen dioxide to form nitro derivatives.;Halogenation, nitration, and sulfonation take place predominantly at the 4-position.;Henry's Law constant = 9.45X10-6 atm cu-m/mol at 20 °C;Hydroxyl radical rate constant= 5.00X10-11 cu-cm/molc sec at 25 °C
Stability
Does not undergo photooxidation in organic solvents under fluorescent light or sunlight; resistant to photodecomposition;Stable under recommended storage conditions.
