Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, also known as PAH, are chemical compounds
that consist of fused aromatic rings and that do not contain heteroatoms and
that do not carry substituents.
Many of them are known or suspected
carcinogens. They are formed by incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels
such as wood, coal, diesel, fat, or tobacco.
PAH composed only of
six-membered rings are called benzenoid PAH. The name comes from benzene, an
aromatic hydrocarbon with a single, six-membered ring.
The set of
benzenoid PAH is closely related to a set of mathematical entities called
polyhexes, which are planar figures composed by conjoining regular hexagons of
identical size.
Examples of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are
naphthalene, anthracene, phenanthrene, pyrene, benzopyrene, triphenylene, and
coronene.
