UCHEM offers an extensive range of high-purity phenanthroline derivatives designed to meet the growing demands of coordination chemistry, catalysis, electrochemical research, and functional material development. With strong metal-chelation ability and tunable electronic properties, these compounds serve as essential ligands, intermediates, and building blocks across both academic and industrial laboratories. UCHEM maintains reliable in-stock supply and provides custom synthesis services to support specialized research needs.
Among the key products, 1,10-Phenanthroline-5,6-dione (CAS 27318-90-7) is a widely used oxidized derivative that functions as a versatile precursor in ligand modification, metal complex design, and redox-active materials. Its high electrophilicity and structural rigidity make it valuable for constructing advanced coordination frameworks.
5,6-Diamino-1,10-phenanthroline (CAS 168646-54-6) serves as a critical intermediate for synthesizing functionalized ligands and conjugated complexes. The diamino groups provide excellent flexibility for condensation reactions, coupling chemistry, and polymer–ligand hybrid materials.
For researchers requiring substituted phenanthroline ligands with enhanced steric or electronic characteristics, UCHEM offers 5,6-Dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (CAS 3002-81-1) - a useful component in studying catalysis mechanisms, photophysical behavior, and tuning metal-binding selectivity.
We also supply 2,9-Dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (CAS 4733-39-5), a highly substituted and rigid aromatic ligand frequently applied in OLED research, photoluminescent metal complexes, supramolecular assemblies, and semiconductor materials. Its extended conjugation provides strong stability and excellent optical properties.
Completing this product line is 3,4,7,8-Tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (CAS 1660-93-1), known for its symmetrical methyl substitution pattern and balanced steric profile. This derivative is widely used in electrochemical systems, metal-ion sensing, homogeneous catalysis, and material surface functionalization.
All phenanthroline derivatives supplied by UCHEM meet strict quality specifications, offering high purity, consistent performance, and complete documentation. With strong inventory and the ability to customize synthesis from gram to kilogram scale, UCHEM is committed to supporting cutting-edge research in coordination chemistry, catalytic development, and advanced material science.
