Description
2,2’-Bipyridine is a metalloprotease inhibitor used as a reagent for the colorimetric determination of iron.  It is a base used for oxidation-reductions indicators and to confirm the presence of ferrous iron in soils.  Additionally, 2,2’-bipyridine is used in transition metal catalysis and aluminum-initiated polymerization.  It is a high-affinity iron chelator and may inhibit iron-containing enzymes.
