[structure: see text]. The crown ether BPX26C6 forms a [3]pseudorotaxane-like complex with the N,N'-dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridinium dication both in solution and in the solid state. The facile one-pot synthesis of a [2]rotaxane from neutral precursors-BPX26C6, 4,4'-dipyridyl, and 3,5-di-tert-butylbenzyl bromide-suggests that BPX26C6 may bind to (mono)pyridinium cations in a [2]pseudorotaxane-like ma...

Radical templation centered around a heterotrisradical tricationic inclusion complex DB•+⊂DAPQT2(•+), assembled from an equimolar mixture of a disubstituted 4,4'-bipyridinium radical cation (DB•+) and an asymmetric cyclophane bisradical dication (DAPQT2(•+)), affords a symmetric [2]catenane (SC·7PF6) and an asymmetric [2]catenane (AC·7PF6) on reaction of the 1:1 complex with diazapyrene and bip...

The low yield of enzymatic conversion CO2 to formic acid as well the high cost and instability using natural cofactor (NADH) hamper large-scale application utilization. To address these issues improve production acid, six bipyridinium-based artificial cofactors were developed for further integrated with electrocatalytic regeneration production. All them did show a higher catalytic performance c...

A synthetic approach to the preparation of [2]rotaxanes (1-5·6PF(6)) incorporating bispyridinium derivatives and two 1,5-dioxynaphthalene (DNP) units situated in the rod portions of their dumbbell components that are encircled by a single cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene) tetracationic (CBPQT(4+)) ring has been developed. Since the π-electron-deficient bispyridinium units are introduced into the d...

The 1:1 and 2:1 cocrystals of benzene-1,2,4,5-tetracarboxylic acid (BTA) and 4,40-bipyridine (BPY) have been studied using neutron diffraction at 215 and 20 K, respectively. BTA and BPY crystallize in a 1:1 ratio with 1.8 molecules of water, viz. 4,40-bipyridinium 2,5-dicarboxybenzene-1,4-dicarboxylate 1.8hydrate, C10H12N2 2+ C10H4O8 1.8H2O, (I), in the space group P1, with both BTA and BPY lyi...

In the title compound, C(12)H(14)N(2) (2+)·2I(3) (-), the 1,1'-dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridinium (DMBP) dication is charge balanced by two triiodide ions. The DMBP dication is planar within 0.010 (5) Å. The asymmetric unit contains only half of the dication, the other half being generated by an inversion center. Weak C-H⋯I inter-actions link the ions into sheets parallel to (121).

The title compound, (C(10)H(10)N(2))[Sb(2)(C(7)H(2)NO(5))(2)(OH)(2)(H(2)O)(2)]·2H(2)O, consists of a binuclear anion, a diprotonated 4,4'-bipyridinium cation and two uncoordinated water mol-ecules. Each Sb(III) atom is six-coordinated by one chelating 4-oxidopyridine-2,6-dicarboxyl-ate ligand, one water mol-ecule, one OH group and one bridging O atom from a neighboring carboxyl-ate group in a d...

4,4'-Bipyridin-1,1'-ium dichloride [C(10)H(10)Cl(2)N(2) (I)] and 4,4'-bipyridin-1,1'-ium dinitrate [C(10)H(10)N(4)O(6) (II)] have been prepared and the crystal structures determined at 90.0 (2) K. Molecules of (I) are linked by two chlorine-bridged, three-centered N-H...Cl hydrogen bonds into chains along the b axis. The chains are coupled by weak C-H...Cl interactions into a molecular ladder a...

Four new complex salts [Ru(II)Cl(Tpm)(L(A))2][PF6]n [Tpm = tris(1-pyrazolyl)methane; n = 1, L(A) = pyridine (py) 1 or ethyl isonicotinate (EIN) 2; n = 3, L(A) = N-methyl-4,4'-bipyridinium (MeQ(+)) 3 or N-phenyl-4,4'-bipyridinium (PhQ(+)) 4] have been prepared and characterized.
