Coronene

Fabricate a molecular model of Coronene (Superbenzene) utilizing Genuine Molymod Model Parts by Indigo Instruments

Coronene is a polycyclic arene comprised of six peri-fused benzene rings. It is one of more than a hundred polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons produced by incomplete combustion of organic compounds such as coal & oil. Coronene's unique planar and highly conjugated structure may be even more apparent when viewed in orbit style.

It has various uses in research. This includes aromaticity & aspects of surface science such as molecular adsorption, self-assembly, and surface interactions, especially on metal surfaces due to its extensive conjugated π-electron system.

A molecular model of Coronene in the Molymod Hybrid Dome style uses the atoms & bonds in the parts list below. Our free 3D Molecular Model Builder shows other styles & allows for image rotation as an assembly guide.
