Improved Synthesis of 4,4′-Disubstituted-2,2′-Bipyridines

Ruthenium(II) tris(2,2′-bipyridine) complexes show interesting photochemical properties^1. Complexes containing substituents in the 4-and 4′-position of the 2,2′-bipyridine ligand have recently been used in systems which are aimed at the conversion and storage of solar energy^2,3. 2,2′-Bipyridine has a long history as a metal-chelating agent⁴. The use of 4,4′-disubstituted bipyridines as metal-chelating agents so far has been restricted probably because the reported syntheses of these compounds are rather laborious and the yields are low or moderate^5–8.

Preparation and Characterization of 2,2′-Dipicolyl Diselenide and Their Derivatives

Lithium 2-picolylselenolate/tellurolate is obtained by reacting lithiated 2-picoline with elemental selenium/tellurium which upon aerial oxidation gives 2,2'-dipicolyl diselenide in case of selenium while 1,2-bis(2-pyridyl)ethane in case of tellurium. Condensation of 2-picolylselenolate anion with a variety of electrophiles provides a facile synthesis of 2-picolylalkyl selenides in good to excellent yields. Quenching of lithiated 2-picoline with 2,2'-dipyridyl diselenide gives mixed 2-picolylseleno pyridine in low yield. All the compounds prepared are new and have been characterized by elemental analysis, 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR and mass spectral studies.

With the ionic radius of rare-earth metal increasing, the reaction of L ¹ H and [(Me₃Si)₂N]₃RE(μ-Cl)Li(THF)₃ gave dinuclear complexes ( L ¹ )₂RE(μ-Cl)(μ-η⁵:η¹:η¹- L ¹ )RE( L ¹ )[N(SiMe₃)₂]₂ [RE = Sm ( 1e ), Pr ( 1f )]; however, the reaction of L ² H and [(Me₃Si)₂N]₃Sm(μ-Cl)Li(THF)₃ afforded ( L ² )₂Sm[N(SiMe₃)₂]₂ ( 2e ). Results indicated that the ionic radius of rare-earth metal and subtle change in the ligands have substantial effects on the structure and bonding mode of complexes.

Interesting supramolecular structures were demonstrated due to the existence of hydrogen bonding as well as π?π interactions in the two different complexes. The H₂bibzim ligands act as a 2-connected spacer in both complexes. However, in 1, the [Ni(H₂bibzim)₃]²⁺ cations act as 3-connected nodes, hydrogen bonded with the 6-connected btec^4? ligands into a 3-D framework with (3,6)-connected topology Schläfli symbol as (4.6.8)(4².6)(4³.6⁴.8⁷.10). As for 2, Zn serves as a 3-connected node with btec^4? as a 6-connected node, leading to a 2D (3,6)-connected hydrogen bonding kgd topology sheet with Schläfli symbol of (4³)²(4⁶.6⁶.8³). Thermal stabilities and photoluminescent properties of 1 and 2 were also studied.
