Expert Answer
Both anthracene and phenanthrene are polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon having fused benzene rings.
Anthracene
Phenanthrene
Phenanthrene is stable than anthracene due to more efficient π bonding and not because of hydrogen bonding. In phenanthrene, one resonance structure has two sextets (benzene-like moieties) at the extremities, while the other resonance structure has just one central sextet. Therefore in this molecule the outer rings are firmly aromatic while its central ring is less aromatic and therefore more reactive. In contrast, in anthracene, the number of sextets is just one and aromaticity spreads out.
