2,6-Diphenylpyridine is used as a tridentate [C?N?C] dianionic ligand in organogold(III) chemistry, an intermediate. It readily adds an electron from alkali metals in THF to give a radical anion which is a powerful reducing agent.
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.
Applications
2,6-Diphenylpyridine is used as a tridentate [C∧N∧C] dianionic ligand in organogold(III) chemistry, an intermediate. It readily adds an electron from alkali metals in THF to give a radical anion which is a powerful reducing agent.
Solubility
Insoluble in water.
Notes
Store in a cool, dry place in tightly closed container. Incompatible with oxidizing agents.
