There has been considerable interest in the pro­ ducts of the reaction of 2 ,2 '-bipyridine with di­ bromoalkanes. The bridged diquaternary salt (1) from 2 ,2 '-bipyridine and 1 ,2 -dibromoethane is the well-known herbicide diquat dibromide [1]. Similar bridged salts are obtained with 1,3-dibromopropane and 1,4-dibromobutane [2] but reaction of 2,2'-bipyridine with 1,5-dibromopentane gives inst...

The complex [Ir(ppy)(2)(dpbpy)][PF(6)] (Hppy = 2-phenylpyridine, dpbpy = 6,6'-diphenyl-2,2'-bipyridine) has been prepared and evaluated as an electroluminescent component for light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs); the complex exhibits two intramolecular face-to-face pi-stacking interactions and long-lived LECs have been constructed; the device characteristics are not significantly improve...

In title complex, [Mn(C(2)N(3))(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)], the Mn(II) ion is coordinated in a slightly distorted octa-hedral geometry by six N atoms. Four of the N atoms are from two chelating bipyridine ligands and two are from a pair of cis-coordinated dicyanamide ligands. The dihedral angle formed by the mean planes of the bipyridine rings is 85.93 (14)°. The central N atom of one of the dicyana...

In the title compound, 3C(10)H(8)N(2)·4C(7)H(5)NO(4), the asymmetric unit contains two mol-ecules of pyridine-3,5-dicarb-oxy-lic acid and one mol-ecule of 4,4'-bipyridine in general positions together with one mol-ecule of 4,4'-bipyridine lying across a centre of inversion, thus giving a 4:3 molar ratio of pyridine-3,5-dicarb-oxy-lic acid to 4,4'-bipyridine. The dihedral angle between the bipyr...

A novel series of polypyridyl adducts, [Sm(ntfa)3(NN)] (2–4), with ntfa = 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(naphthalen-2-yl)-1,3-butanedionate, NN 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy), 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine (4,4′-Me2bipy), and 5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine (5,5′-Me2bipy) were synthesized from the precursor complex [Sm(ntfa)3(MeOH)2] (1) corresponding pyridyl ligands. Single X-ray crystallography showed that complex...

Immobilization of [Mn(bpy)(CO)3Br], (1) and [Mn(bpy((t)Bu)2)(CO)3Br] (2, where (bpy((t)Bu)2) = 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine) in Nafion/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) on glassy carbon yielded highly active electrodes for the reduction of CO2 to CO in aqueous solutions at pH 7. Films incorporating have significantly improved selectivity towards CO2, with CO : H2 ∼ 1 at -1.4 V vs. SCE...

In the complex cation of the title compound, [Mg(C(10)H(8)N(2))(H(2)O)(4)](C(7)H(4)BrO(2))(2), the Mg(II) atom is coordinated by two N atoms from a 2,2'-bipyridine ligand and four water O atoms in a distorted MgN(2)O(4) octa-hedral geometry. The cation is located on a special position on a twofold rotation axis which passes through the Mg(II) atom and the centroid of the 2,2'-bipyridine ligand....
