A Structural Perspective on the Chemical Properties of Rutile Acenes
The acenes or xanthones belong to a family of organic chemicals and polyacrylic aromatic hydrocarbons composed of linearly bonded benzene rings. The larger members are being actively studied in biochemistry and electronics and may have interesting interest in medical applications. There are two broad types of acenes, monomerized and heteromerized. The former occur as compounds with a single benzene ring, whereas the latter have several benzene rings linked together through chemical bonds.

Both types of acenes exhibit wide ranging reactivity, which includes the ability to form hydrogen peroxide and radicals when they cross the concentration gradients. This property is similar to the well known heterocyclic compounds C 60 H 2 O. Unlike them, acenes possess an oxygen-based hydrogen bonding that could cross the concentration gradient, as well as the ability to form hydrogenated molecules. Thus, they can be used as photoactive substances for photo-synthesis, although their structures are not yet completely elucidated. The study of rutile (or rutile olefin) compounds containing acenes, which are predicted to have an antibacterial activity, is still underway.
The study of the reactivity of the acenes and their occurrence in organic chemistry is still in its infancy. Most of the work done so far has been performed using the Raman spectroscopy, with the exception of some research reports. The Raman spectrum has proved to be quite useful in the study of chemical compounds, particularly the acenes. However, the Raman spectrum does not include the long, linear benzene rings that are part of the photochemical reactions that take place in photochemical reaction.
In contrast to the non-covalent nature of the monomeric rings, the two benzene rings are covalent in their structure. Thus, the gaps between the carbons of the two rings cannot be considered important in determining their polarity and the number of times the light was absorbed. If the carbons were electrically neutral, then the gaps would provide an opportunity for the electrons to escape, thereby making the ring an unappealing conductor. However, the lack of a gap between carbons makes the carbonyl rings attractive for use in synthesis.
In order to bridge the gap between the two carbons of the monomer, the sextet structures of some polycyclic aromatic chemicals can be formed. The sextet structure of the acenes in the natural order is shown on the left, and the structure that results when the carbons of the ring are substituted with sextets on the right. The gap in the structure of the ring that was created by the substitution of one carbons by a sextet makes the system less attractive for bonding, thus improving the performance. The smaller sized acenes have a higher affinity for the alkaline chemicals and for amino acids that form part of the natural chemical structure.
There are also some other interesting compounds that contain both hydrophobic (water-absorbing) and hydrophobic (fat-absorbing) groups of carbon. These compounds are known as rutile and piperine. The rule group of carbon, which includes all of the regular organs, has a remarkable structural similarity to the aromatic amines that occur naturally. The similarities of the structures lead to a conclusion that they are structurally related. The presence of the hydrophobic groups of the rutile make them particularly useful as antifungal agents.
