General description

Bathophenanthroline (BPhen) is a chelating agent and is specific for ferrous ions.

Application

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.

Features and Benefits

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for catalytic efficiency. Click here for more information.

Other Notes

For the determination of iron in serum, in urine; for the determination of iron(II) in presence of iron(III); for the determination of total iron.

Traces of iron(II) (1-30 ppM) in the presence of iron(III) were determined (error <10%) by the bathophenanthroline method. Interference of iron(III) was eliminated by masking with sodium pyrophosphate (2.5-60 mg). The iron(II) complex was extracted with n-butanol, at pH 4.2-4.7.
