General description

Benzo[k]fluoranthene belongs to the class of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. It can find applications as a chemical sensor for nitrated aromatic compounds via fluorescence quenching of benzo[k]fluoranthene in poly(vinyl alcohol) film. It can also serve as a potential candidate in organic light emitting diodes.
This compound is listed in the SVHC (Substances of very high concern) candidate list of ECHA (European Chemicals Agency)
