9,9-Bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)fluorene is a dye that belongs to the class of phenylenediamines. It has been shown to be carcinogenic in CD-1 mice and causes chronic exposure in humans, resulting in cardiac dysfunction. 9,9-Bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)fluorene has also shown to cause cancer in human endometrial cells and serum aminotransferases elevations. In addition, it has been found to inhibit mitochondrial membrane potential and induce locomotor activity and fatty acid release in rodents. 9,9-Bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)fluorene is water soluble with a monosodium salt form. It has a hydrogen bond donor that can form hydrogen bonds with hydrophilic groups on proteins or DNA bases.

Applications 9,9-Bis (4-Hydroxyphenyl) Fluorene is used in the production of polyarylene ethers and extensively used in the study of polymer electrolyte membranes with the potential for fuel cell application. Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package References Miyatake, K. et al.: J. Am. Chem.
