Neocuproine preferentially chelates cuprous ions over ferrous ions and can be used for the spectrophotometric determination of copper. The Neocuproine-copper complex exists in a 2:1 ratio with a maximum absorption at 454 nm. Neocuproine is a phenanthroline compound that is used as a chelating agent in a wide array of transition metal-catalyzed reactions. It can also be used in the synthesis of aryl ketones.
