Ref. 3D-AAA23007

Product Information

• Name: 4,7-Phenanthroline
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4,7-Phenanthroline is a coordination complex that is used as a metal ion carrier. It has the ability to transport copper ions by hydrogen bonding interactions with nitrogen atoms on the 4,7-phenanthroline. This coordination complex can be synthesized from copper nitrate and hydrochloric acid in neutral pH conditions. The crystal structure of 4,7-phenanthroline has been determined using X-ray crystallography. The molecule contains four copper ions and one phenyl group, which have a tetranuclear geometry with coordination geometry of p2. These features make 4,7-phenanthroline useful for pharmaceutical preparations such as growth factors.
