Smith, Adam P.; Fraser, Cassandra L. published an article on January 29 ,2002. The article was titled 《Metal-Centered Heteroarm Polymers: Chelation of Polystyrene-b-polycaprolactone with a Bipyridine Donor at the Block Junction》, and you may find the article in Macromolecules.Electric Literature of C12H10Cl2N2 The information in the text is summarized as follows:
A dual functional ligand initiator, 4-chloromethyl-4′-hydroxymethyl-2,2′-bipyridine, bpy-(CH2Cl)(CH2OH), was used in a tandem atom transfer radical polymerization-ring-opening polymerization sequence to generate polystyrene-polycaprolactone copolymers with bpy binding sites at the block interface. The coordination of bpy(PS)-(PCl) subunits to Ru, Fe, and Pt centers to form linear and star-shaped structures is described. The results came from multiple reactions, including the reaction of 4,4′-Bis(chloromethyl)-2,2′-bipyridine(cas: 138219-98-4Electric Literature of C12H10Cl2N2)
4,4′-Bis(chloromethyl)-2,2′-bipyridine(cas: 138219-98-4) belongs to pyridine derivatives. Several pyridine derivatives play important roles in biological systems. While its biosynthesis is not fully understood, nicotinic acid (vitamin B3) occurs in some bacteria, fungi, and mammals. Electric Literature of C12H10Cl2N2
