Collection: Ligands for Functional Metal Complexes

Ligands for Functional Metal Complexes — gathers ligands that form functional metal complexes, such as bipyridine, terpyridine, phenanthroline, phenylpyridine, porphyrin, phthalocyanine, quinolinol, as well as redox-active ligands. These ligands form metal complexes with specific optical, electronic, or redox properties for functional materials and coordination chemistry research.

Ligands in this category are used by functional materials researchers to form photoactive metal complexes in dye-sensitized solar cells, OLEDs, and luminescence sensors based on phenanthroline or terpyridine complexes. Porphyrin and phthalocyanine ligands are used in oxidation catalysis research and photosensitization materials, while quinolinol ligands and redox-active ligands are used for metal complexes with electron-transfer properties in electrocatalysis.

Example products in this collection: TCI A0267 137-07-5 2-Aminobenzenethiol, TCI B5525 2326-78-5 2,2'-Bipyridine-5,5'-diol, TCI A0335 95-55-6 2-Aminophenol, TCI B5567 40000-20-2 5-Bromo-1,10-phenanthroline, TCI A0364 1198-27-2 1-Amino-2-naphthol Hydrochloride, TCI B5710 2963-77-1 4-(1H-Benzimidazol-2-yl)aniline, TCI A0365 41772-23-0 2-Amino-1-naphthol Hydrochloride, TCI B6181 15862-19-8 5-Bromo-2,2'-bipyridine.

Pay attention to the denticity of the ligand, substituents at specific positions that affect electronic and steric properties, and the level of purity, which determines the efficiency of complex formation with the target metal ion. All products are genuine products of Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
