Uses

Coronene, dodecachlorois primarily a subject of research and regulatory concern due to its environmental impact. However, it does not have any specific commercial or industrial applications. The main focus is on understanding its persistence in the environment and its potential toxic effects on aquatic organisms. Efforts are being made to mitigate its presence and minimize its impact on ecosystems.

Perchlorocoronene: a Novel Host Precursor

The title compound (1b), a new non-planar chlorocarbon possessing approximate D3d symmetry, has been prepared by chlorination of coronene (1a); complete substitution of (1b) by arenethiolate nucleophiles in the dipolar aprotic solvent DMEU (1,3-dimethylimidazolidin-2-one) yields the dodecathioethers (2a) and (2b), members of a new prospective host series.

Persulfurated Coronene: A New Generation of “Sulflower”

We report the first synthesis of a persulfurated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) as a next-generation “sulflower.” In this novel PAH, disulfide units establish an all-sulfur periphery around a coronene core. The structure, electronic properties, and redox behavior were investigated by microscopic, spectroscopic and electrochemical methods and supported by density functional theory. The sulfur-rich character of persulfurated coronene renders it a promising cathode material for lithium-sulfur batteries, displaying a high capacity of 520 mAh g-1 after 120 cycles at 0.6 C with a high-capacity retention of 90%.
