2,6-Bis(2-benzimidazolyl)pyridine,

Not available outside of the UK & Ireland.

Application

2,6-Bis(2-benzimidazolyl)pyridine may be employed as a chemosensor for the detection of fluoride ions. It may be used as a sensor for the detection of toxic metabolites of benzene such as phenol, hydroquinone, resorcinol, catechol and p-benzoquinone.

General description

2,6-Bis(2-benzimidazolyl)pyridine acts as tridentate nitrogen donor ligand and reacts with UO₂Cl₂·3THF to form complexes. It is reported as an efficient anion receptor providing chemical shift and optical modification based signals for the detection of acetate ions. 2,6-bis(2-benzimidazolyl)pyridine is a V-shaped ligand and its picrate Mn(II) complex has been prepared. 2,6-Bis(2-benzimidazolyl)pyridine is also reported as an optical sensor useful for the aniline recognition.
