Biphenyl

Biphenyl is an organic chemical compound made up of two interconnected benzene rings, which are flat, ring-shaped arrangements of carbon and hydrogen atoms. It appears as a colorless solid with a distinct, mild aroma similar to diesel or mothballs. Biphenyl is used mainly in industry as a heat transfer medium and as a building block for manufacturing other chemicals, especially liquid crystals for electronic displays. It also has applications in pesticides and as a preservative for citrus fruit. Its chemical stability and relatively low reactivity make it valuable in various chemical processes.
