Bipyridines are a family of organic compounds with the formula (C 5 H 4 N) 2, consisting of two pyridyl (C 5 H 4 N) rings. Pyridine is an aromatic nitrogen-containing heterocycle. The bipyridines are all colourless solids, which are soluble in organic solvents and slightly soluble in water. Bipyridines, especially the 4,4' isomer, are mainly of ...
4,4′-Bipyridine (abbreviated to 4,4′-bipy or 4,4′-bpy) is an organic compound with the formula (C 5 H 4 N) 2. It is one of several isomers of bipyridine. It is a colorless solid that is soluble in organic solvents. is mainly used as a precursor to N,N′-dimethyl-4,4′-bipyridinium [(C 5 H 4 NCH 3) 2] 2+, known as paraquat.
Paraquat (trivial name; / ˈ p ær ə k w ɒ t /), or N,N′-dimethyl-4,4′-bipyridinium dichloride (systematic name), also known as methyl viologen, is a toxic organic compound with the chemical formula [(C 6 H 7 N) 2]Cl 2. It is classified as a viologen, a family of redox-active heterocycles of similar structure. [5]
2,2′-Bipyridine (bipy or bpy, pronounced / ˈ b ɪ p iː /) is an organic compound with the formula (C 5 H 4 N) 2. 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. [1]

Terpyridine forms complexes with most transition metal ion as do other polypyridine compounds, such as 2,2'-bipyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline. Complexes containing two terpyridine complexes, i.e. [M(Terpy) 2] n+ are common. They differ structurally from the related [M(Bipy) 3] n+ complexes in being achiral.
A typical reducing agent is N,N'-bis(trimethylsilyl)-4,4'-bipyridinylidene. Related pyrazine- and cyclohexadiene-based reagents have been developed. They are red or orange THF-soluble solids. The bipyridine reagent is produced by reduction of 4,4'-bipyridine in the presence of trimethylsilyl chloride (Me = CH 3): [2]
