Description
5-Iodo-1,10-phenanthroline (CAS No. 630067-12-8) is a high-purity heterocyclic organic compound with the molecular formula C12H7IN2. This iodine-substituted phenanthroline derivative is a versatile building block in coordination chemistry, catalysis, and materials science. Its rigid planar structure and electron-rich nitrogen atoms make it an excellent ligand for transition metals, particularly in the synthesis of luminescent complexes and redox-active catalysts. The iodine substituent at the 5-position offers a reactive handle for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions. Our product is supplied as a crystalline solid with ≥95% purity (HPLC), rigorously characterized by 1H/13C NMR, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis. Ideal for researchers developing photoelectronic materials, molecular sensors, or asymmetric catalysts. Store under inert atmosphere at 2-8°C to maintain stability.
