Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ja00311a044

The application of a binding force (the chelation of a metal by a 2,2'-bipyridyl) to enhance reaction rates is examined with three systems.Metals are shown to increase the rate of cyclization of certain 3,3'-disubstituted, 2,2'-bipyridyl derivatives.Simil
