- Female Adamite — The feminine form for female followers of the Adamite sect, characterized by adopting the ascetic and paradisiacal lifestyle. Completely independently, in mineralogy (as a common noun), the term represents a rare secondary mineral from the arsenate class, composed of zinc arsenate hydroxide, remarkable for its brilliant yellow, green, or violet crystals that exhibit intense fluorescence under ultraviolet light.
- Anthracene — A polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C14H10, consisting of three linearly fused benzene rings, appearing as colorless or pale yellow crystals with a strong blue-violet fluorescence under ultraviolet light.
- Anthracene — A polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C14H10, structurally composed of three linearly fused benzene rings; a colorless, crystalline solid substance obtained from the distillation of coal tar, exhibiting an intense blue fluorescence under ultraviolet light. This organic compound serves as a fundamental raw material in the chemical industry for the synthesis of alizarin, various anthracene dyes, and high-performance plastics or optical sensors.
- Anthranol — A crystalline aromatic organic compound belonging to the class of phenols derived from anthracene, existing in tautomeric equilibrium with anthrone. This intermediate substance, insoluble in water but soluble in warm organic solvents, exhibits an intense bluish fluorescence in solution and is used in the chemical synthesis of vat dyes and in biochemical assays for carbohydrate identification.
- Autunite — A mineral from the phosphate class, hydrated uranium and calcium phosphate, with the chemical formula Ca(UO2)2(PO4)2·10-12H2O, featuring a brilliant greenish-yellow color; it is a highly radioactive mineral that fluoresces under ultraviolet light, historically discovered in the Autun region (France) and used as a secondary uranium ore.
