A series of heteroleptic bipyridine ruthenium complexes were prepared using known synthetic methods. Each compound incorporated one electron withdrawing 4,4'-dicarboxylic acid-2,2'-bipyridine and two bipyridines each of which had electron donating dialkylamine substituents in the 4 and 4' positions. The electronic absorption spectra exhibited absorptions that moved to lower energy as the donor ...

coordination chemistry is currently of great interest in research. The use of transition-metal centers and coordination chemistry for directing the formation of complex structures has evolved into one of the most widely used strategies for organizing molecular building blocks into supramolecular arrays.1–3 Assembling extended supramolecular architectures by selecting the chemical structure of o...

2,2-Bipyridine chelates 2 zinc ions of horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase with a dissociation constant of 4.0 X low4 M. The complex shows an absorption maximum at 308 rnp with a difference extinction coefficient of 1 .l X lo4 M+ cm-r per zinc ion. Because bipyridine binds the enzyme less tightly than o-phenanthroline, and because the principal absorption maximum of the difference spectrum appear...

Covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) synthesized through the nucleophilic substitution of 4,4′-bipyridine on carbon atoms cyanuric chloride were studied as fluorescent sensors.

The title compound, C(25)H(14)Cl(2)N(4), crystallizes with two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The two pyridine rings are almost coplanar, making dihedral angles of 3.2 (1) and 8.6 (1)° in the two independent mol-ecules. The dichloro-phenyl and indole rings are twisted away from the bipyridine ring by 64.32 (5) and 18.46 (4)°, respectively in the first molecule and by 51.0 (1) an...

A series of ruthenium complexes having the general form [Ru(bpy)(3-n)(CN-Me-bpy)(n)](PF(6))(2) (where bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, CN-Me-bpy = 4,4'-dicyano-5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine, and n = 1-3 for complexes 1-3, respectively) have been synthesized and characterized using a variety of steady-state and nanosecond time-resolved spectroscopies. Electrochemical measurements indicate that the CN-Me-b...

A new bipyridine ligand based on a T-shaped 2,4,7-trisubstituted benzimidazole framework was synthesized with a 90° angle between the two nitrogen donors. When combined with convergent [Pt(dppp)](2+) corners, eight right angles (four metal and four ligand) combine to form a M4L4 cluster with an unusual folded-cube structure.

In the title complex, (C(10)H(9)N(2))[Pr(C(6)H(2)N(2)O(4))(2)(H(2)O)(5)], the Pr atom is nine-coordinated by nine O atoms from two pyridazine-4,5-dicarboxyl-ate anions and five water mol-ecules. It is noteworthy that there is a protonated bipyridine mol-ecule in the structure. Inter-molecular O-H⋯O, O-H⋯N and N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds are present, resulting in a three-dimensional network.

[Ru(terpy)(bpy)(L)]PF6 complexes, where terpy is 2,2 ́:6′,2′′– terpyridine, bpy is 2,2 ́ bipyridine and L is monoanions of 4 bromophenylcyanamide (4 Brpcyd), 4methoxyphenylcyanamide (4 MeOPcyd), 2, 4 dibromophenylcyanamide (2,4 Br2pcyd), 2,4dimethylphenylcyanamide (2,4 Me2pcyd), 2 methylphenylcyanamide (2 MePcyd), phenylcyanamide (Pcyd) and naphtylcyanamide (ncyd) have been prepared and character...

Biscyclometallated iridium complexes [Ir(ppz)2(X^Y)][PF6] (X^Y = pyridine imine) have been synthesised. The pyridineimine ligands are prepared in situ during the complexation. The complexes show room temperature emission between 640 and 780 nm in CH2Cl2 solution. The emission is red shifted compared with the analogous bipyridine complex [Ir(ppz)2(bipy)][PF6]. DFT calculations have been used to ...
