Tetracene, also called naphthacene, is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon. It has the appearance of a pale orange powder. Tetracene is the four-ringed member of the series of acenes.

Tetracene is a molecular

chemoluminescence. Napthacene is the main component of the tetracycline class
of antibiotics.

In 2024, it was used to produce lower-energy excitations in solar cells in a process known as singlet fission. An interface layer between tetracene and silicon transfers them into the silicon layer, where most of their energy can be converted into electricity.[4]
