Preparation, structure, and general properties
2,2'-Bipyridine was first prepared by decarboxylation of divalent metal derivatives of
- M(O2CC5H4N)2 → (C5H4N)2 + 2 CO2 + ...
It is prepared by the dehydrogenation of pyridine using Raney nickel:[2]
- 2 C5H5N → (C5H4N)2 + H2
Substituted 2,2'-bipyridines
Unsymmetrically substituted 2,2'-bipyridines can be prepared by
Structure
Although bipyridine is often drawn with its nitrogen atoms in cis conformation, the lowest energy conformation both in solid state and in solution is in fact coplanar, with nitrogen atoms in trans position.[4] Monoprotonated bipyridine adopts a cis conformation.[5]
Reactions
A large number of complexes of 2,2'-bipyridine have been described. It binds metals as a chelating ligand, forming a 5-membered chelate ring.
