This page creation was supported with funds from the Wilson Education Grant Award from the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences. The intention is to provide students a better understanding of chemical structures related to Fuel and Energy issues. If you have suggestions for other structures please email them to me and please fill out the evaluation form.

Benzene


Benzene is not a polyaromatic but it is the building block for the other molecules which are considered to be hazardous air pollutants if an organic compounds with more than one benzene ring, and which have a boiling point greater than or equal to 100 * C. Double bonds are not shown!

Biphenyl


Biphenyl does not have a boiling point above 100 deg C but is a hazardous air pollutant in its own right. Hydrogens are not shown in the remaining structures.

Naphthalene




Anthracene




Phenanthrene




Pyrene
