1,10-Phenanthrolin-5-amine(CAT: R057062) is a nitrogen-rich heteroaromatic compound derived from 1,10-phenanthroline, featuring an amino group at the 5-position of its fused polycyclic framework. With the molecular formula C₁₂H₉N₃, it combines strong metal-chelating ability from the phenanthroline core with the functional versatility of a primary amine. This dual reactivity makes it valuable in coordination chemistry, where it can form stable complexes with transition metals for applications in catalysis, sensing, and materials science. In medicinal chemistry, it serves as a scaffold for designing bioactive molecules, including enzyme inhibitors and DNA-binding agents. Its electron-rich, planar structure also supports applications in supramolecular and photophysical studies.
