Abstract:1,10-Phenanthroline (phen) is one of the most popular
ligands ever
used in coordination chemistry due to its strong affinity for a wide
range of metals with various oxidation states. Its polyaromatic structure
provides robustness and rigidity, leading to intriguing features in
numerous fields (luminescent coordination scaffolds, catalysis, supramolecular
chemistry, sensors, theranostics, etc.). Importantly, phen offers
eight distinct positions for functional groups to be attached, showcasing
remarkable versati… Show more
