Laboratory synthesis and use

It has been prepared by oxidation of phenanthrene with chromic acid.[3]

It is used as a artificial mediator for electron acceptor/donor in Mo/W containing formate dehydrogenase reduction of Carbon dioxide to formate and vice versa. It is a better electron acceptor than the natural Nicodinamide adenosine dinucleotide(NAD+).

Safety

It is a cytotoxic.[4]
