Partially hydrogenated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (hydroaromatics) are abundant in liquid fuels made from coal. To be able to analyze these compounds, we synthesized 139 hydroaromatic compounds by either catalytic hydrogenation or chemical reduction of the parent hydrocarbon. Specific reactions were used to generate known isomers which could then be isolated by normal-phase liquid chromatography for the development of an analytical data base. Analytical methods used for the hydroaromatic compounds included high-resolution gas chromatographic retention indexes, high-performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array UV detection, and, especially, mass spectrometry. 46 references, 8 figures, 1 table.
