Reagent for iron determinations.2,2'-bipyridine acts as a bidentate chelating ligand which form complexes with transition metal ions and shows antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral activity. It is used for the colorimetric determination of iron as well as oxidation reduction indicators to confirm the presence of ferrous ion in soils. It forms complexes with ruthenium and platinum, exhibit intense luminescence, which may have practical applications. Copper(I) bipyridine complexes involved in the oxidation of alcohols under aerobic conditions.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
