The author of 《Immobilization of Mn(I) and Ru(II) polypyridyl complexes on TiO2 nanoparticles for selective photoreduction of CO2 to formic acid》 were Le-Quang, Long; Stanbury, Matthew; Chardon-Noblat, Sylvie; Mouesca, Jean-Marie; Maurel, Vincent; Chauvin, Jerome. And the article was published in Chemical Communications (Cambridge, United Kingdom) in 2019. Formula: C12H12N2 The author mentioned the following in the article:
TiO2 nanoparticles are successively functionalized with [Mn(κ2N1,N2-ttpy)(CO)3Br] as catalyst and [Ru(bpy)3]2+ as photosensitizer to yield RuII/TiO2/MnI. Under continuous irradiation at 470 nm and in the presence of a sacrificial electron donor, this triad reduces CO2 to HCOOH (TONmax = 27) with 100% selectivity. The experimental process involved the reaction of 4,4′-Dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine(cas: 1134-35-6Formula: C12H12N2)
4,4′-Dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine(cas: 1134-35-6) is used in the synthesis of a series of o-phenanthroline-substituted ruthenium(II) complexes.Formula: C12H12N2 Furthermore, 4,4′-Dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine is used as a chemical Intermediate. It can be used for the determination of ferrous and cyanide compounds.
