Name: 4,4'-Di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine; 4,4'-Di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridyl; 4,4'-Bis(t-butyl)-2,2'-bipyridine;2,2'-Bipyridine,4,4'-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)- CAS: 72914-19-3 MF: C18H24N2 MW: 268.40 Appearance: white powder Purity: 98%min.(HPLC) Melting point: 159-161 °C(lit.) Package: 25g; 100g; 500g; 1Kg; 5Kg; 25Kg Applications: Bidentate ligand with good solubility Polypyridines such as 2,2’-bipyridine(bipy) or 2,2’,2"-terpyridine (trpy) have been widely used as chelating agents. In particular, since the use of Ru(bipy)32+ as a photosensitizer, there has been an upsurge of interest in d6polypyridine metal complexes because of their exceptional electrochemical and photochemical properties and their potential use in the conversion of light energy into chemical energy. 4,4'-Di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridyl CAS: 72914-19-3 is a white powder with good solubility in most polar organic solvent, which is also named as4,4'-Di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine;4,4'-Bis(t-butyl)-2,2'-bipyridine;2,2'-Bipyridine,4,4'-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-.
