Application
Bathophenanthroline serves various important functions in both analytical chemistry and materials science. It is employed in an ultra-sensitive and selective method that enables the detection of palladium (II) at microgram per liter levels, showcasing its efficacy in nonextractive quenchofluorimetric procedures. Additionally, Bathophenanthroline is utilized as a buffer layer to enhance the performance of organic photovoltaic cells. As a member of the phenanthroline class, its structure includes small, rigid, planar features with extended π-electrons, facilitating electron mobility. Due to its wide energy gap and high ionization potential, Bathophenanthroline is frequently used as a hole-blocking or exciton-blocking layer. Its high electron mobility, approximately two orders of magnitude greater than that of Alq3, underscores its efficiency in these applications. Furthermore, when doped with lithium, Bathophenanthroline becomes an excellent electron-transport material and is commonly implemented as an electron-injection layer, allowing seamless ohmic contact without concern for work function alignments.
