In the title complex, [Cd(C(14)H(9)N(5))(2)](ClO(4))(2), the Cd(II) ion is coordinated by two tridentate 2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-1,10-phenanthroline ligands in a distorted octa-hedral CdN(6) environment. In both 2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-1,10-phenanthroline ligands, the 1,2,4-triazolyl ring and the 1,10-phenanthroline ring system are essentially coplanar [maximun deviations of 0.136 (7) and 0...

Five heteroleptic Cu(i)bis(phenanthroline) chromophores with distinct variation in the steric bulk at the 2,9-phenanthroline position were synthesized using the HETPHEN method, and their ground and excited state properties are described. Analysis of the crystal structures reveals a significant distortion from tetrahedral geometry around the Cu(i) centre which is attributed to favourable aromati...

In the cation of the title mol-ecular salt, C(18)H(13)N(4)O(+)·Cl(-)·H(2)O, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the 1,10-phenanthroline system and the phenol ring is 14.40 (19)°. The crystal packing is stabilized by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, weak N-H⋯Cl and O-H⋯Cl inter-molecular inter-actions and π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.6944 (13) and 3.9702 (12) Å].

A new sensitive, simple and rapid method for determination of methotrexate (MTX) was developed based on quenching effects of MTX on the fluorescence intensity of Tb3+-1,10-phenanthroline complex. The fluorescence intensity was measured with excitation wavelength of 300 nm and emission wavelength of 545 nm and the quenched fluorescence intensity is proportional to the concentration of MTX in Tris...

The interactions of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and 1,10-phenanthroline with Ehrlich cells have been studied. Both compounds inhibit proliferation of cells in culture. After long-term incubation of cells with these metal-chelating agents under conditions in which cell viability is not impaired but proliferation is retarded, the rate of DNA synthesis of EDTA-exposed cells is the same ...

1. Fistulated sheep given a concentrate diet were used to study the behaviour of solute ([51Cr]EDTA) and particle ([103Ru]phenanthroline) markers in the stomach under conditions of continuous feeding. 2. An injection of a mixed dose of [51Cr]EDTA and [103Ru]phenanthroline was given into the rumen and the time course of marker concentrations in the rumen and the abomasum was recorded. The curves...

Using modified solvothermal conditions (longer cooling time), beside previously characterized dark-green crystals of [Ni(C(4)H(2)O(4))(C(12)H(8)N(2))] (main product), a few light-green crystals of the polymeric title compound, catena-poly[[aqua-(1,10-phenanthroline-κ(2)N,N')nickel(II)]-μ-fumarato-κ(2)O:O'-[aqua-(1,10-phenanthroline-κ(2)N,N')nickel(II)]-μ-fumarato-κ(4)O,O':O'',O'''], [Ni(C(4)H(2...

It has previously been demonstrated that phenanthroline-based ligands used to make gold metallotherapuetics have the ability to exhibit cytotoxicity when not coordinated to the metal center. In an effort to help assess the mechanism by which these ligands may cause tumor cell death, iron binding and removal experiments have been considered. The close linkage between cell proliferation and intra...

Isolated rabbit hepatocytes were incubated with [35S]methionine to label intracellular pools of apolipoprotein B (apo-B). The cells were then reincubated with an excess of unlabelled methionine in the presence of oleate or protease inhibitors and the intracellular sites of accumulation of radiolabelled apo-B and the mass of apo-B were determined by isolation and analysis of subcellular fraction...

The synthesis and characterization of copper complexes of the phenanthroline based bridging ligands, 9-methyl-2-(2-[4-[2-(9-methyl-1,10-phenanthrolin-2-yl)ethyl]phenyl]ethyl)-1,10-phenanthroline, 1, and 1,12-bis(9-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline-2-yl)dodecane, 2, are presented. Whereas in the first case a discrete dimeric complex [Cu(2)(1)(2)](BF(4))(2) was formed, in the latter, a coordination poly...
