In 2019,Chemical Communications (Cambridge, United Kingdom) included an article by Sanchez, Monica L. K.; Wu, Chang-Hao; Adams, Michael W. W.; Dyer, R. Brian. Reference of 4,4′-Dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine. The article was titled 《Optimizing electron transfer from CdSe QDs to hydrogenase for photocatalytic H2 production》. The information in the text is summarized as follows:
A series of viologen related redox mediators of varying reduction potential has been characterized and their utility as electron shuttles between CdSe quantum dots and hydrogenase enzyme has been demonstrated. Tuning the mediator LUMO energy optimizes the performance of this hybrid photocatalytic system by balancing electron transfer rates of the shuttle. In the experimental materials used by the author, we found 4,4′-Dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine(cas: 1134-35-6Reference of 4,4′-Dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine)
4,4′-Dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine(cas: 1134-35-6) is used as a chemical Intermediate. It can be used for the determination of ferrous and cyanide compounds.Reference of 4,4′-Dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine Furthermore, 4,4′-Dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine is used in the synthesis of a series of o-phenanthroline-substituted ruthenium(II) complexes.
