Violanthrone, also known as Dibenzanthrone, is an organic compound that serves as a vat dye and a precursor to other vat dyes. X-ray crystallography confirms that the molecule is planar with C_2v symmetry.^[1] Isomeric with violanthrone is isoviolanthrone, which has a centrosymmetric structure.^[2]

Synthesis

It is produced by coupling of two molecules of benzanthrone.^[3]^[4]
