Bipyridine Ligands, Terpyridine Ligands
Bipyridine and terpyridine ligands are aromatic compounds containing nitrogen atoms capable of forming coordination bonds with metal ions. These ligands are widely used in the synthesis of functional metal complexes with unique properties and applications. Bipyridine ligands are particularly useful in the formation of ruthenium-based complexes for use in light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and solar cells. On the other hand, terpyridine ligands are commonly used in the synthesis of platinum-based complexes for catalytic and sensing applications. The ability to tailor the properties of functional metal complexes by selecting the ligand makes bipyridine and terpyridine ligands valuable tools in both research and industrial settings.
