Neocuproine (Cat No.:R066866) is a chelating ligand widely used in coordination chemistry, analytical applications, and redox studies. With methyl groups at the 2 and 9 positions, it offers enhanced selectivity and steric hindrance, making it highly effective for complexing copper(I) ions. Neocuproine is commonly employed in spectrophotometric assays for detecting trace copper and investigating metal-ligand interactions. It also plays a role in catalytic systems and bioinorganic research. Supplied at high purity, neocuproine is ideal for use in chemical analysis, metalloprotein modeling, and coordination compound synthesis.
