Bathocuproine

Bathocuproine is a derivative of 1,10-phenanthroline with two methyl groups and two phenyl groups in the 2,9 and 4,7 positions, respectively. Like 1,10-phenanthroline, bathocuproine is a bidentate chelating ligand. The two methyl groups flank the nitrogen centers, such that bathocuproine is a bulky ligand. It is a pale yellow solid that is soluble in polar organic solvents.[1]
