The author of 《A nickel pyridine-selenolate complex for the photocatalytic evolution of hydrogen from aqueous solutions》 were Xie, An; Tao, Yun-Wen; Peng, Cheng; Luo, Geng-Geng. And the article was published in Inorganic Chemistry Communications in 2019. Quality Control of 4,4′-Dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine The author mentioned the following in the article:
A nickel pyridine-selenolate complex, [Ni(4,4′-dmbpy)(2-pySe)2] (1, where 4,4′-dmbpy = 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine, and 2-pySe = pyridine-2-selenolate), was synthesized, and studied for photocatalytic production of H2 from aqueous solution Electrochem. studies show that the nickel complex 1 can efficiently electrocatalyze H2 evolution from weakly acidic solutions Under visible-light irradiation (λ > 420 nm), the complex 1 displays impressive H2 evolution activity with a TON of 1340 (based on a catalyst) in a noble-metal-free system, which contains fluorescein (Fl) as photosensitizer and triethylamine (TEA) as sacrificial electron donor in acetonitrile-water solution It should be noted that complex 1 is the rare example of nickel pyridine-selenolate complex as mol. photocatalyst for water reduction After reading the article, we found that the author used 4,4′-Dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine(cas: 1134-35-6Quality Control 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.Quality Control 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.
