Phenylheptatriyne: Occurrence, synthesis, biological properties, and environmental concerns

In addition to a complete bibliography on the occurrence, synthesis, photochemistry, biological activity, and mechanism of phototoxicity of phenylheptatriyne, new data on its phototoxicity in larvae of the mosquito , in and in fish ( ) are presented. The apparent lack of target specificity suggests that additional research will be necessary before considering using PHT in field applications.
