Infobox references

Phenanthrenedione is a quinone derivative of a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon. It is an orange, water-insoluble solid.[2]

Laboratory synthesis and use

It has been prepared by oxidation of phenanthrene with chromic acid.[3]

It is used as a artificial mediator for electron acceptor/donor in Mo/W containing formate dehydrogenase reduction of carbon dioxide to formate and vice versa. It is a better electron acceptor than the natural nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+).

Safety

It is cytotoxic.[4]
