Copper phenanthroline complexes have been studied for decades with much of the current research focusing on the highly substituted phenanthroline derivatives.  Such complexes are of great interest because the redox potential has been found to be useful in both dye-sensitized solar cells and biomedical technologies. Alterations to the synthetic conditions and route have had drastic effects on the reaction products, resulting in the isolation of three new Cu(I) and Cu(II) compounds using the unsubstituted 1,10-phenanthroline.  Characterization of these complexes is being presented via X-ray crystallography, FTIR, TGA, NMR, and UV-Vis.<br/>

Alterations of synthetic routes result in several new novel copper phenanthroline coordination complexes
