In the catalytic hydrolysis of 2',3'-cAMP by the Cu(II) complexes of 2,9-(N,N-dimethylethylenediamino)-1,10-phenanthroline (A) and 2,9-(N,N-dimethylethylenediaminomethyl)-1,10-phenanthroline (B) that are designed as a new ligand molecule of artificial DNase, due to the four intramolecular H-bonds forming between amino groups of ligand molecule and phosphoryl group of 2',3'-cAMP. It is anticipated that Cu(II) complexes of (A) and (B) are able to promote a rate that is as much as seventy thousand times faster than the catalytic hydrolysis rate of 2',3'-cAMP by Cu(II) complexes of 2,9-dimethyl-o-phenanthroline.

In the present study, the effects of onion and garlic on copper and 1, 10-phenanthroline com plex induced DNA degradation were investigated by the decreased level of thiobarbiturin acid (TBA) reactive materials. Phenanthroline is specific for copper and the reaction releases TBA reactive material from DNA which can be measured by absorbance at 535nm. The levels of TBA reactive materials were decreased by adding onion or garlic ghomogenate into reaction mixture but the onion had more strong potency and the effect of onion was not changed by boiliing. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase have no inhibitory effects on copper induced DNa damage but reduced glutathone was more effective. The activities of antioxidant enzymes and the contents of sulfhydryl groups in onion and garlic were also investigated. The activity of SOD was more higher in garlic, but catalase and glutathione peroxidase activities were higher in onion. The contents of induced DNA damage were not by antioxidant enzymes such as SOD, catalase and glutathione peroxidase or sulfhydryl groups, but a substance which is more stable in high temperature.

Eight coordinated terbium(III) complexes, tris (2-pyrazinecarboxylato)(phenanthroline) terbium(III) [$Tb(pzc)_3$(phen)], tris (5-methyl-2-pyrazinecarboxylato) (phenanthroline) terbium(III) [$Tb(mpzc)_3$(phen)] and tris(2-picolinato) (phenanthroline) terbium(III) [$Tb(pic)_3$(phen)], have been synthesized and characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), UV-Visible and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy shows that these complexes emitted strong green luminescence. When powder samples of the $Tb^{3+}$ complexes are examined using time-resolved spectroscopic analysis, the luminescence lifetimes are found to be 0.87 ms and 1.0 ms, respectively. Thermogravimetric analysis reveals the terbium complexes to have good thermal stability up to $333-379^{\circ}C$. Cyclic voltammetry shows that HOMO-LUMO energy gap of the $Tb^{3+}$ complexes ranges from 4.26~4.41 eV. These values are similar to those obtained from the UV-visible spectra. Overall, the synthesized $Tb^{3+}$ complexes may be useful advanced materials for green light emitting devices.

Studies of Co(N-N)(3,6-DBSQ)(3,6-DBCat)(N-N=4,7-dimethyl-1 ,10-phenanthroline, 5-chloro-1,10-phenanthroline; DBSQ=di-tert-butylsemiquinonato; DBCat=di-tert-butylcatecholato) have been carried out on the bistability by intramolecular cobalt-quinone electron transfer in solid state. The title complexes dominantly exist as $Co^{III}$(N-N)(3,6-DBSQ)(3,6-DBCat) at room temperature and display a significant bistability on temperature variation. Subtle change in optical spectra and magnetic properties is observed when diimine ligands are changed.

The dinuclear $Ag_2[Phen]_2[S_2P(OPr)_2]_2$(phen=1,10-phenanthroline; Pr=propyl), was prepared by the reaction of bis(dipropyldithiophosphato) silver(I) complex with 1,10-phenanthroline ligand, and its structure was determined by X-ray crystallography. The two dipropyldithiophosphato ligands each bridge two silver atoms to form an eight-membered $Ag_2S_4P_2$ ring, while the 1,10-phenanthroline molecule coordinates to a silver atom to complete the local tetrahedral geometry for the metal ion. The Ag-S bond distances are 2.559(1) and 2.567(1)${\AA}$, and the Ag-N bond distances are 2.366(3) and 2.471(3)${\AA}$.

Under pseudo-first order conditions, the monomeric species of Cr(VI) was found to be kinetically active in the absence of phenanthroline (phen) whereas in the phen-promoted path, the Cr(VI)-phen complex undergoes a nucleophilic attack by etane-1,2-diol to form a ternary complex which subsequently experience a redox decomposition leading to hydroxy ethanal and Cr(III)-phen complex. The effect of the cationic surfactant (CPC), anionic surfactant (SDS) and neutral surfactant (TX-100) on the unpromoted and phen-promoted path have been studied. Micellar effects have been explained by considering the preferential partitioning of reactants between the micellar and aqueous phase. Combination of TX-100 and phenanthroline will be the ideal for chromic acid oxidation of ethane-1,2-diol in aqueous media.

To develop new hole-blocking materials for phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PhOLEDs), 5,6-dihydro-2,9-diisopropyl-4,7-diphenyl[1,10]phenanthroline (1) and 5,6-dihydro-2,9-diisopropyl-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-7-phenyl[1,10]phenanthroline (2) were synthesized. While the absorption spectrum of 1 is very similar to that of 2, the photoluminescence spectrum of 1 has the feature of the narrower and blue-shifted blueviolet emission at the peak of 356 nm compared to that of 2. The HOMO and LUMO energy levels of 1 and 2 were estimated from the measurement of cyclic voltammetry, and 1 has the appropriate levels for a holeblocking layer (HBL). The use of 1 as a HBL in a green PhOLED led to good efficiency of 23.6 cd/A at 4.4 mA/$cm^2$.

The crystal structure of $[Co(phen)_2(Cl)(H_2O)] Clㆍ2H_2O$(phen=1,10-phenanthroline) has been determined by X-ray crystallography. It crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P1, with lattice parameters a=9.662(2), b=11.445(1), c=13.037(2)${\AA}$ ${\alpha}$=64.02(1), ${\beta}$=86.364(9), ${\gamma}=78.58(2)^°$, and Z=2. The coordinated cations contain a six-coordinated cobalt atom chelated by two phen ligands and one chloride anion and one water ligand in cis arrangement. In addition to the chloride coordinated to the cobalt, there are one chloride ion and four water molecules which complete the crystal structure. In the solid state, the title compound forms three dimensional network structure through hydrogen bonds, within which exists the strongest hydrogen bond (O(3)-O(4)=2.33${\AA}$). The intermolecular hydrogen bonds connect the $[Co(phen)_2(Cl)(H_2O)]1+,\;H_2O$ moieties and chloride ion.

A new analytical luminescence method for the $Dy^{3+}$ ion was studied using the luminescence enhancement by the treatment of the o-phenanthroline on the TLC plate. Compared to the specific emission intensities of the ion in water solution, if the ion solution is spotted on the TLC plate, the luminescence intensities were extremely enhanced. There was additional enhancement effect of the luminescence intensities of the ions on the TLC plate, if the ion on the TLC plate is treated with o-phenanthroline. Based on the luminescence enhancement, the detection limit was improved by more than 4 order of magnitude compared to that of solution sample. The dynamic ranges and correlation coefficients of the calibration curves near the detection limit were 102 order and ~0.99, respectively. The energy-transfer mechanism was explained for the theoretical back ground of the luminescence enhancement.

Thallium is quantitatively retained by 1,10-phenanthroline and tetraphenylborate onto benzophenone in the pH range 0-11 from a large volumes of aqueous solutions of various samples. After filtration, the solid mass consisting of thallium complex and benzophenone is dissolved with 5 mL of dimethylformamide and the metal was determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometric. About 0.4 ㎍ of thallium can be concentrated from 400 mL of aqueous sample, where its concentration is as low as 1.0 ng/mL. Eight replicate determinations of 8.0 ㎍/mL of thallium in final dimethylformamide solution gave a mean absorbance of 0.160 with a relative standard deviation of 1.7%. The sensitivity for 1% absorption was 0.22 ㎍/mL. The interference of a large number of anions and cations has been studied and the optimized conditions developed were utilized for the trace determination of thallium in various alloys and biological samples.
