Application	Fluoranthene serves as a versatile starting material in chemical synthesis, particularly valued for its role in producing advanced compounds. It is utilized to create polyfluoranthene (PFA) based conducting polymers via electrochemical anodic oxidation with a Lewis acid catalyst, which offers potential applications in electronic materials. Furthermore, it aids in the synthesis of substituted fluorenones and contributes to the development of fluorescence-emitting oligofluoranthene (OFA) nanorods through oxidative oligomerization, showcasing its importance in creating innovative photonic and material science solutions.
