In general, if the atoms that make up the ring contain heteroatoms, such rings become heterocycles, and organic compounds containing heterocycles are called heterocyclic compounds. An article called Self-supported rhodium catalysts based on a microporous metal-organic framework for polymerization of phenylacetylene and its derivatives, published in 2020, which mentions a compound: 1762-34-1, Name is 5,5′-Dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine, Molecular C12H12N2, Related Products of 1762-34-1.
A series of heterogeneous metal-organic framework (MOF)-supported rhodium (Rh) hybrid catalysts with varying amounts of Rh are first applied to the coordination polymerization of phenylacetylene and its derivatives with or without cocatalysts in different organic solvents under a nitrogen atm. or in water media under an air atm. In comparison with the known homogeneous and heterogeneous Rh catalysts, these MOF-supported Rh catalysts exhibit not only a channel confinement effect on the polymer mol. weight distribution but also a more remarkable cooperation effect, polar solvent acceleration effect, “”on water”” effect, and cocatalyst acceleration effect on the catalytic activity. As a result, these heterogeneous Rh catalysts have the advantages of an extremely high activity of up to 1.5 x 107 g molRh-1 h-1, cis-selectivity of up to 99%, and reusability of up to 10 times, affording cis-transoidal PPAs and their functional derivatives having single-handed helical conformation or aggregation-induced emission properties with moderate mol. weights and narrow mol. weight distributions. As far as we are aware, such extremely efficient Rh catalysts as well as multiple reusable heterogeneous Rh catalysts have never been reported.
