C24H7

C24H7 is a molecular formula that could represent various chemical compounds, but it is most notably associated with coronene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon. Coronene is a large, planar molecule composed of six benzene rings fused in a hexagonal pattern. It is a dark yellow crystalline solid at room temperature and is relatively insoluble in most common solvents. The structure of coronene is highly symmetrical, belonging to the D6h point group.

Coronene has been studied for its electronic and optical properties, which are characteristic of extended pi-electron systems found in many aromatic compounds. Its high thermal stability makes it a subject of interest in materials science, particularly in applications related to organic electronics and optoelectronics. The synthesis of coronene typically involves complex organic reactions, often starting from simpler aromatic precursors. Due to its size and structure, coronene exhibits fluorescence. Its properties are influenced by intermolecular interactions, and it can form crystalline structures with specific packing arrangements. While C24H7 could theoretically describe other isomers, coronene is the most well-known and characterized compound with this elemental composition.
