Tetraphenylethene (TPE) is an organic chemical compound with the formula Ph₂C=CPh₂, where Ph = phenyl (C₆H₅). Samples have been described as a yellow solid, but the compound is colorless. The molecule is crowded such that all four phenyl groups are twisted out of the plane defined by the center six carbon atoms.^[3] Tetraphenylethylene is used as a precursor to other organic compounds, often in the area of supramolecular chemistry.
