Abstract

This review comprehensively explores the synthetic development, photophysical properties, and diverse applications of 3-substituted benzanthrone derivatives. These derivatives, functionalized at the C-3 position, exhibit exceptional fluorescence, photostability, and tunability, making them highly versatile in fields, such as organic electronics, dye chemistry, and photodynamic therapy. Benzanthrone-based compounds are pivotal in the development of advanced materials, including organic semiconductors for flexible electronics and daylight fluorescent pigments. This review highlights innovative synthetic methodologies, from traditional approaches to eco-friendly techniques, emphasizing their impact on the efficiency and environmental sustainability of these compounds. The discussion extends to the potential of benzanthrone derivatives as photodegradation inhibitors and their promising role in next-generation laser dye technologies. By integrating these derivatives into various applications, this review underscores their critical importance in advancing material science and technology, paving the way for future innovations.
