1,10-Phenanthroline, anhydrous is used as a chelating agent, used as bidendate nitrogen ligands in Heck type reactions as an alternative to phospine ligands. It is widely used as an indicator for alkyllithium reagents and an inhibitor of metallopeptidase enzymes. It is also used in the analysis formulations in end-user industries like food, beverage and pharmaceuticals.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
