General description
1,10-Phenanthroline monohydrate is a chelating agent.
Application
It has been used in preparing 0.1 % phenanthroline solution. In another study, 80μl of 1,10-Phenanthroline monohydrate was used along with nanoparticles to measure iron content using colorimetric assay.3 It may be used in the preparation of [Mn(1,10-phen)2(mal)].2H2O.
When complexed with copper, it possesses nuclease activity that has been used to study DNA-protein interactions.
Biochem/physiol Actions
