5-Bromo-1,10-phenanthroline（Cat No.:L047863）is a halogenated derivative of 1,10-phenanthroline, a planar heteroaromatic ligand known for its strong metal-chelating properties. The presence of a bromine atom at the 5-position enhances its utility in cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Stille couplings, enabling further functionalization. This compound is widely used in coordination chemistry, especially for synthesizing metal complexes with catalytic, luminescent, or biological activities. Its rigid, conjugated structure also makes it useful in materials science and molecular electronics. It serves as a key intermediate in ligand design and metallopharmaceutical development.
