Common Name4,4'-Bipyridine
Description4,4'-Bipyridine, also known as 4,4'-bpy, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as bipyridines and oligopyridines. These are organic compounds containing two pyridine rings linked to each other. 4,4'-Bipyridine can also mediate electronic effects between two paramagnetic metal centers. 4,4'-Bipyridine was first obtained in 1868 by the Scottish chemist Thomas Anderson (1819- 1874) via heating pyridine with sodium metal. However, Anderson's empirical formula for 4,4'-bipyridine was incorrect. 4,4'-Bipyridine is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). This species is electroactive, and its toxicity arises from the ability of this dication to interrupt biological electron transfer. Because of its structure, 4,4'-bipyridine can bridge between metal centres to give coordination polymers. The correct empirical formula, and the correct molecular structure, for 4,4'-bipyridine was provided in 1882 by the Austrian chemist Hugo Weidel and his student M. Russo. 4,4'-Bipyridine (abbreviated to 4,4'-bipy or 4,4'-bpy) is a bipyridine which is mainly used as a precursor to N,N-dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridinium [(C5H4NCH3)2]2+, known as paraquat. 4,4'-Bipyridine is formed during the combustion of cannabis and is therefore a constituent of cannabis smoke ( Ref:DOI ).
