What is Bipyridine

Chapter 2
Handbook of Research on Nanoscience, Nanotechnology, and Advanced Materials
A bypridine is a family of chemical compounds with the formula (C 5 H 4 N) 2 , which are formed by the coupling of two pyridine rings. Six isomers of bipyridine exist, but two isomers are prominent: 2, 2'-bipyridine is a popular ligand in coordination chemistry. 2, 2'-bipyridine is a chelating ligand that forms complexes with most transition metal ions.

Abstract
Ruthenium bipyridine or terpyridine complexes functionalized carbon-based nanocomposites have special properties in the electromagnetic and photochemical research field. The aims of this chapter include development of functionalized fullerene, carbon nanotubes, and graphene with ruthenium complex and characterization of their nanostructural properties. Such nanocomposites can be accomplished using either covalent or non-covalent functionalization methods.
