General description

4,4′-Azopyridine is an aromatic heterocyclic compound used as a ligand in the formation of [HgI2(4,4′-azopyridine)]n complex.

Application

4,4′-Azopyridine can be used:
  • To prepare porous coordination polymers (PCPs) by reacting with Zn(NO3)2 and 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid.
  • As a reagent for the conversion of aliphatic alcohols into disulfides under Mitsunobu conditions.
  • To prepare 4,4′-azopyridine-bridged binuclear zinc(II) complexes.

Reactant for preparation of:
  • Flexible porous coordination polymers constructed from 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)hydrazine via solvothermal in situ reduction reaction
  • Metal-organic frameworks based on transition-metal carboxylate clusters as secondary building units
  • Heteroaromatic azo compounds under Mitsunobu conditions
  • MnII, CoII, and ZnII coordination polymers
  • Low-dimensional and porous coordination compounds capable of supramolecular aromatic interactions

Reagent in:
  • Facile Mitsunobu esterification reactions
