Benzene rings may be joined together (fused) to give larger polycyclic aromatic compounds. A few examples are drawn below, together with the approved numbering scheme for substituted derivatives. The peripheral carbon atoms (numbered in all but the last three examples) are all bonded to hydrogen atoms. Unlike benzene, all the C-C bond lengths in these fused ring aromatics are not the same, and there is some localization of the pi-electrons. For a discussion of this characteristic in cases of naphthalene and phenanthrene click on their formulas.
The six benzene rings in coronene are fused in a planar ring; whereas the six rings in hexahelicene are not joined in a larger ring, but assume a helical turn, due to the crowding together of the terminal ring atoms. This helical configuration renders the hexahelicene molecule chiral, and it has been resolved into stable enantiomers having specific rotations of 3700

Naphthalene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) as well as the lightest polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH). Inhalation of naphthalene may cause respiratory and neurological effects among humans. It is classified as a possible human carcinogen. A recent monitoring program shows that the average concentration of naphthalene in air is 4.5 µg/m3 in indoor air. Assess the non-cancer hazard and cancer risk assuming people continuously inhale naphthalene at this concentration. Toxicological information of naphthalene: RfC = 3 µg/m3 Unit risk =...
