2,2′-bipyridine
Sign in to save2,2′-Bipyridine (bipy or bpy, pronounced ) is an organic compound with the formula . This colorless solid is an important isomer of the bipyridine family. It is a bidentate chelating ligand, forming complexes with many transition metals. Ruthenium and platinum complexes of bipy exhibit intense luminescence. ==Preparation, structure, and general properties== 2,2'-Bipyridine was first prepared by decarboxylation of divalent metal derivatives of pyridine-2-carboxylate:
