General description

1,10-Phenanthroline-5,6-dione (phendio) forms Cu(II) and Ag(I) phendio complexes, which show potent anti-fungal and anti-cancer activity. The modification of glassy carbon (GC) electrodes with phendio complexes of transition metals leads to the catalytic oxidation of NADH at low overpotential.

Application

1,10-Phenanthroline-5,6-dione may be used in the preparation of homo- and heterometallic complexes with early transition metal ions.
A Bifunctional quinone oxidant which, when used in conjunction with Zn2+ catalysts, is used to affect the aerobic oxidation of secondary amines to a variety of value added motifs, including indoles.

A surface-based method for the study of the interactions of DNA with redox-active 1,10-phenantroline-5,6-dione (phen-dione) osmium complexes is described. The study was carried out using gold electrodes modified with DNA via adsorption and [Os(bpy)(2)(phe-dione)](3+/2+) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridyl) or [Os(phen)(2)(phen-dione)](3+/2+) (phen
