Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a class of genotoxic environmentalcontaminants and are always exposed to solar radiations. Fluorenes are important PAHswidely distributed in nature and hence the studies in the effect of light on them are of ulmostsignificance. Therefore in this paper, we have studied the photo irradiations of fluorene (1)and 9-fluorenone (2) with UV light in different solvents, which results in the formation ofdifferent products.
