Benzo[h]quinoline（Cat No.:L045253）is a polycyclic aromatic heterocycle with the molecular formula C13H9N. It consists of a quinoline core fused with a benzene ring at the “h” position, creating an extended conjugated system. This compound appears as a pale yellow to off-white crystalline solid and exhibits strong fluorescence, making it valuable in photophysical studies, organic semiconductors, and dye chemistry. It also serves as a ligand in coordination chemistry and as a precursor in the synthesis of biologically active molecules. Benzo[h]quinoline is sparingly soluble in water and should be handled using standard safety protocols.
