Aromatic rings, mercury electrode

Case Study III - 2,2 -Bipyridine (2,2 -BI on Au(hld) 2,2 -bipyridine is a bidentate ligand used in coordination chemistry and a typical representative of aromatic, nitrogen-containing heterocycles, which act as basic building blocks in highly specific and functionalized host lattices at defined surfaces [548, 549]. Two planar pyridine rings are connected via a C—C bond with 10% double-bond character [550]. Electrochemical studies revealed that n, n -bipyridine [551-553] and several of its Co " " and Ni " " complexes [554] form 2D condensed films at the atomically smooth mercury-electrolyte interface. The adsorption of 2,2 -bipyridine on solid electrodes, such as Ag(poly), Au(hkl), and Cu(lll) was studied by...
