22′-Bipyridine (bipy or bpy (pronounced bip-ee)) is an organic compound with the formula (C10H8N2). This colorless solid is an important isomer of the bipyridine family. It is a bidentate chelating ligand forming complexes with many transition metals. Ruthenium complex and platinum complexes of bipy exhibit intense luminescence which may have practical applications.
