1 10-PHENANTHROLINE-5 6-DIONE 97

China [CN]

Physical Properties (referencing high-purity counterparts):

Appearance: 97% purity product is typically an orange-red to brownish-red crystalline powder, the color originating from the π-π* transition of the conjugated aromatic ring and carbonyl group.

Solubility: Soluble in strongly polar organic solvents such as dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and pyridine; slightly soluble in methanol and ethanol; sparingly soluble in water and petroleum ether.

Melting Point: Approximately 290–295℃; decomposition occurs above the melting point; it has poor stability and is sensitive to light and air; storage requires protection from light, airtight sealing, and vacuum drying.

Main Uses: This compound is an important metal ion ligand and organic synthesis intermediate, with core applications including:

Coordination Chemistry and Analytical Detection: Forms stable chelates with transition metal ions such as Fe²⁺, Cu²⁺, and Co²⁺, and can be used for quantitative analysis and separation and purification of metal ions; its metal complexes are often used as catalysts in organic synthesis reactions.

Pharmaceutical Research: As a phenanthroline derivative, its metal complexes exhibit antibacterial and antitumor activity and can be used as lead compounds for the development of new metal-based drugs; it can also be used to synthesize biologically active heterocyclic derivatives.

Materials Science: Used in the preparation of optoelectronic functional materials, such as fluorescent probes and organic semiconductor materials; the ortho-diketone structure can serve as an active site to regulate the optical and electrochemical properties of the material.
