Directed synthesis of monofunctionalized 5,5'-disubstituted 2,2'- bipyridines and their first application as metallo-supramolecular initiators

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(98)02041-3

Monofunctionalized 5,5'-disubstituted 2,2'-bipyridines were synthesized in very high yields and used in a first application for the construction of a metal centered star-like AB block copolymer.
