This review will cover the developments in the chemistry of phenanthroline-based ligands in
the last 10–15 years. 1, 10-Phenanthroline (phen) is a classic ligand in coordination …

Spent nuclear fuel (SNF) released from reactors possesses significant radioactivity, heat
release properties, and high-value radioactive nuclides. Therefore, using chemical methods …

The synthesis, lanthanide complexation, and solvent extraction of actinide (III) and
lanthanide (III) radiotracers from nitric acid solutions by a phenanthroline-derived …

Factors in polypyridyl ligands that control their thermodynamic metal ion selectivity in
aqueous solution, and their use in selective fluorescent sensing, are examined …

In this study, a newly fluorescent ZnSe quantum dots (QDs) with ion imprinting technology
was firstly realized on the three-dimensional (3D) rotary paper–based microfluidic chip …

1, 10-Phenanthroline entails several appealing structural and chemical properties: rigidity,
planarity, aromaticity, basicity, chelating capability. This makes it a versatile starting material …

Other than traditional cation detection strategies, which are solely based on the ion-receptor
complementarity, the extension of the concept of supramolecular chemistry and the …
