triphenylmethane
Three-ringed carbon center
Triphenylmethane is an organic compound consisting of a central carbon atom bonded to three phenyl groups—ring-shaped structures derived from benzene.
It serves as the structural basis for a class of synthetic dyes, including crystal violet and malachite green, used in inks, textiles, and laboratory staining.
The compound itself is a colorless crystalline solid.
