Bipyridine Blocks

Bipyridine is a class of products obtained from pyridine through a combined reaction, and two common ones include 2,2'-bipyridine and 4,4'-bipyridine. 2,2'-bipyridine is a bipyridine in which the two pyridine moieties are linked by a bond between positions C-2 and C-2'. It is a chelating ligand that can form complexes with most ions with a wide range of transition metals. Many of these complexes have unique optical properties. While 4,4'-bipyridine is structurally similar to 2,2'-bipyridine, it is a bipyridine composed of two pyridine moieties linked by a bond between positions C-4 and C-4'. Due to its structure, 4,4'-bipyridine can bridge between metal centers to form coordination polymers. In addition, it has redox activity. Since Bipyridine Blocks have the characteristic of forming coordination with metals, they can be used as organic ligand linkers for MOFs synthesis. In addition, due to the inherent characteristics of Bipyridine Blocks, the MOFs involved in the synthesis also have special optical activity.
