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.

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

We reported a significant improvement in the efficiency of organic solar cells by introducing hybrid TiO2:1,10-phenanthroline as a cathode buffer layer. The devices based on polymer thieno[3,4-b]thiophene/benzodithiophene:[6,6]-phenyl C71-butyric acid methyl ester (PTB7:PC71BM) with hybrid buffer layer exhibited an average power
