Application

1,10-Phenanthroline can be used as:
  • A cathode buffer layer to improve the efficiency of organic solar cells.
  • A conventional chelator to study its efficacy in Fenton′s reaction-luminol chemiluminescence system.
  • A ligand in mild, copper (II)-catalyzed cross-coupling of organoboronic acids and sulfinate salts, leading to aryl- and alkenylsulfones.
  • A versatile ligand employed in the spectrophotometric determination of metals and photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide.
  • A building block for metallomacrocycles.

Copper(II) (1(Cu)-21(Cu)) and previously established experimental anticancer platinum(II) metallointercalator complexes (1(Pt)-16(Pt)) have been prepared and investigated for their antimicrobial properties. These complexes are of the general structure [M(I(L))(A(L))](2+) where I(L) represents functionalised 1,10-phenanthrolines (1(IL)-10(IL)), and A(L) represents 1,2-diaminoethane, 1S,2S- or

In vitro screening of a Fe(2+) -chelating effect using a Fenton's reaction-luminol chemiluminescence (CL) system is described. The luminescence between the reactive oxygen species generated by the Fenton's reaction and luminol was decreased on capturing Fe(2+) using a chelator. The
