Stability Constant of Copper (II) Complexes of Reduction Products of 2,2′-Dipyridyl

Abstract

THE ligand 2,2′-dipyridyl (DP), its derivatives and analogues form an extremely interesting and important class of ligands. Their complexes possess some particular properties, presumably as a consequence of π-electron system of the ligand. To elucidate the role of the π-electron system, the study of complex-forming properties of the reduction product of 2,2′-dipyridyl was undertaken. Although we are at the very beginning of a systematic investigation, nevertheless, we achieved some results worthy of publication.
