A well-known bipyridine ligand with two bromo-functional groups
A bidentate ligand for organometallic compound in application of OLEDs, DSSCs and photosensitisers
5,5'-Dibromo-2,2'-bipyridine (CAS number 15862-18-7), derived from bipyridine, is a bromine functionalized building block with popular use as a chelating ligand for ruthenium (Ru) or iridium (Ir) organometallic complexes. Bipyridine-Ru complexes exhibit excellent photoluminescence and electrochemiluminescence for OLEDs and DSSCs, owing to the strong intraligand (π-π*) and metal-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) transition bands.
Bearing dibromo function groups, 5,5'-Dibromo-2,2'-bipyridine allows further functionalization to form larger conjugated molecules. Bipyridine derivatives can react with borane species to form organoboron compounds as electron acceptor in organic photovoltaics. By extending the chromophore size of the bipyridine core, these types of ligands are employed as photosensors for the detection of fluoride ions. This linear building block is also ideal for bridging different functional molecules for modifying energy band gap and intramolecular spacing.
