Bathophenanthroline Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Classification

Hole-blocking layer (HBL) materials , Electron injection layer (EIL) materials, OLEDS, Organic photovoltaics, Perovskite solar cells.

Applications

BPhen is widely used as a hole-blocking or exciton-blocking layer due to its wide energy gap and high ionisation potential.
The phenanthroline unit is small, rigid, and planar, with extended π-electrons and short hopping lengths that facilitate electron mobility. The electron mobility of BPhen is about 5 × 10-4 cm2 V-1 s-1, which is about two orders of magnitude higher than that of Alq3.
When doped with lithium, BPhen:Li is an excellent electron-transport material, and is often used as an electron-injection layer to enable ohmic contact to any electrode -- without the need to consider the work function alignments.

Reactions

1. Bidentate ligand and reagent for determination of iron.
2. Ligand used in the copper-catalyzed protodecarboxylation of aromatic carboxylic acids. 

Description

BPhen is widely used as a hole-blocking or exciton-blocking layer due to its wide energy gap and high ionisation potential.

Chemical Properties

white to faintly yellow crystalline powder

Uses

Bathophenanthroline is widely used for determination of iron in serum and urine by colorimtetry. It acts as buffer layer to improve the efficiency of organic photovoltaic cells. It is very useful as a scavenger reagent, for the removal of traces of iron and copper from reagent solutions, which is used in the trace metal determination. Iron bathophenanthroline complex is involved as a redox mediating agent for imaging surface immobilized deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) by using Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy (SECM).

Uses

Bathophenanthroline was used in an ultra-sensitive and selective nonextractive quenchofluorimetric method, in order to determine palladium (II) at μg/l Levels. It may also be used as the buffer layer to improve the performance of organic photovoltaic cells.

Definition

ChEBI: A member of the class of phenanthrolines that is 1,10-phenanthroline bearing two phenyl substituents at positions 4 and 7.
