High-Purity Neocuproine CAS 484-11-7 for Analytical and Coordination Chemistry - Kanpur

Neocuproine, chemically known as 2,9-Dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (CAS 484-11-7), is a well-known heterocyclic ligand widely used in analytical chemistry, coordination chemistry, and advanced materials research. As a derivative of 1,10-phenanthroline, Neocuproine contains two methyl substituents at the 2 and 9 positions, which create steric hindrance around the nitrogen donor atoms. This structural feature significantly enhances its selectivity toward copper(I) ions.

Because of its strong and selective complexation with Cu? ions, Neocuproine is commonly used in spectrophotometric and colorimetric methods for copper detection and quantification. It forms stable copper complexes that produce characteristic color changes, making it an important reagent in environmental analysis, biochemical assays, and metal ion monitoring.

Beyond analytical applications, Neocuproine also plays a role in coordination chemistry and catalytic research. Its ability to form stable complexes with transition metals makes it valuable in studying metal–ligand interactions and designing functional coordination compounds. In recent years, phenanthroline derivatives such as Neocuproine have also gained attention in materials science and electronic materials development.
