2-Hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde is a redox potential chemical that has been shown to have anticancer activity in vitro and in vivo. It inhibits the growth of cells by binding to iron, which is important for many biological processes including DNA synthesis. 2-Hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde has also been shown to have metal carbonyl reactivity and fluorescence properties that may be useful as a fluorescent probe. 2-Hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde binds to iron ions through hydrogen bonding interactions, forming an octahedral complex with six ligands. The compound also has coordination geometry that can be described as either trigonal bipyramidal or square planar, depending on the solvent used. This data was obtained by x-ray diffraction studies of crystalline solids. The compound's Langmuir adsorption isotherm was found to be linear at low concentrations and shifted to nonlinear behavior at higher concentrations. The
