title: Facile synthesis of 9,10-diarylphenanthrenes and poly(9,10-diarylphenanthrene)s.
abstract: One-pot reduction of 9,10-diaryl-9,10-dihydrophenanthrene-9,10-diols to 9,10-diarylphenanthrenes was achieved with Zn/H+ in acetic acid. Accordingly, various novel phenanthrenes and polyphenanthrenes with efficient blue emission were easily synthesized.
