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.
