Product Description:

4,4'-Vinylenedipyridine is a symmetrical bidentate ligand featuring two pyridine rings connected by a trans-ethylene bridge. This rigid, conjugated structure allows it to act as a versatile building block in coordination chemistry and materials science. Its primary application is as a bridging ligand in the construction of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), coordination polymers, and supramolecular assemblies. The compound is also utilized in the synthesis of organic semiconductors, photochromic materials, and as a monomer for functional polymers. In medicinal chemistry, it serves as a key intermediate for preparing biologically active molecules, including potential kinase inhibitors and antimicrobial agents. The compound exhibits strong UV absorption and fluorescence properties, making it valuable for developing optical sensors and light-emitting materials. It is typically stored at room temperature and handled under standard laboratory conditions.
