A self-assembled monolayer of 2,2'-bipyridine (22BPY) molecules on Au(111) underwent a structural phase transition when the polarity of a bias voltage was switched in scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) experiments. The nature of two bright spots representing each 22BPY molecule on Au(111) in the high-resolution STM images was identified by calculating the partial density plots for a monolayer of 22BPY molecules adsorbed on Au(111) using tight-binding electronic structure calculations. The stacking pattern of the chains of 22BPY molecules on Au(111) was explained by examining the intermolecular interactions between the 22BPY molecules based on first principles electronic structure calculations for a 22BPY dimer, (22BPY)2. The structural instability of the 22BPY molecule arrangement caused by a change in the bias voltage switch was investigated by estimating the adsorbate-surface interaction energy using a point-charge approximation for Au(111).

The formation of diverse spiral waves was studied in a polyacrylamide gel membrane with ruthenium(4-vinyl-4'-methyl-2,2'-bipyridine)bis(2,2'-bipyridine)bis(hexafluorophosphate) by a gas-free Belousov-Zhabotinisky (BZ) reaction system containing 1,4-cyclohexanedione (1,4-CHD). The gel membrane was found to be receptive for observing propagating waves since a clearer wave-train is obtained during a long reaction time without any disturbance from the immobilized metal catalyst which can be dissolved into the highly acidic solution of the BZ system. The distinctive waves in the system basically depend on both $BrO_3$ and 1,4-CHD in the initial phase, and are influenced by the intensity of illumination of visible light.

The monooxo-bridged binuclear molybdenum(V) complexes, $Mo_2O_3(NCS)_4(Bipy)_2\;(Bipy = bipyridine),\;Mo_2O_3(NCS)-4(Phen)-2$ (Phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), and $Mo_2O_3(NCS)_4(Ox)_2(OxH)_2$ (Ox = oxinato and OxH = oxine) have been prepared. Their electronic and IR spectra, electric conductivity, and magnetic susceptibility were measured. From the results all of th complexes turned out to be electroneutral dimers with about 0.5 BM, and in the oxine complex, $Mo_2O_3(NCS)_2(Ox)_2(OxH)_2$, the oxine seems to bind partly as monodentate and partly as bidentate molecule.

Reaction between trans-$[Co(py)_4/Ci_2]^+(py=pyridine)$ and L-proline and diimine (=2,2'-bipyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline) gives two products, $[Co(L-pro)_2/(bipy)]^+$ and $[Co(L-pro)_2(phen)]^+$ complexes, respectively. On column chromatography, $[Co(L-pro)_2(bipy)]^+$ was obtained only as $Lambda$-trans(N) and $[Co(L-pro)_2(phen)]^+$ was obtained both as ${\Delta}$-trans(N) and $Lambda$-cis(O)cis(N) due to the stereoselectivity of L-prolinato which was stereospecific. Crystal data are as follows: $Lambda$-trans(N)-$[Co(L-pro)_2(bipy)]CIO_4{\cdot}2H_2O$ (1): monoclinic, space group $P2_1(#4)$, a=9.807(3), b=10.421(1), c=12.778(2) ${\AA}$, ${\beta}=109.90(2)^{\circ}$, V=1227.8(5) ${\AA}^3$, Z=2; 1571 data with I > 3.0${\sigma}$(I) were refined to R=0.060, $R_W = 0.067$; ${\Delta}$-trans(N)-$[Co(L-pro)_2(phen)]Cl{\cdot}_3H_2O$(2): monoclinic, space group $P2_1(#4)$, a=9.838(2), b=12.892(2), c=10.747(2)${\AA}$, ${\beta}=113.79(2)^{\circ}$, V=1247.2(4) ${\AA}^3$, Z=2; 2433 data with I > 3.0${\sigma}$(I) were refined to R=0.043, $R_W = 0.050$.

Quenching experiments by photoinduced electron transfer between a charged donor and a neutral acceptor were carried out in acetonitrile, dichloromethane and mixed solvents of acetonitrile and dichloromethane. Tris(2, 2'-bipyridine) ruthenium(II) ($[Ru(bpy)_3]^{2+}$) which has 2+ charge and dicyanobis (2, 2'-bipyridine) ruthenium(II) ($Ru(bpy)_2(CN)_2$) which has no charge were used as electron donors, and a series of tris(${\beta}$-diketonato) ruthenium (III) was used as acceptor. In dichloromethane, $[Ru(bpy)_3]^{2+}$ and its counter ions ($ClO{_4}^-$) form ion pair. In the estimate of ${\Delta}G$ of electron transfer, the electrostatic potential between counter ions and product ion pair produced by electron transfer must be taken into account. A similar effect of counter ions was found in mixed solvents of 10, 30, 50, 70 and 90% acetonitrile ratio in volume. The effect of counter ion on ${\Delta}G$ became smaller with the increase in acetonitrile ratio. The result in mixed solvents suggests that $[Ru(bpy)_3]^{2+}$ and its counter ions form ion pair even in 90% acetonitrile solution.

The catalytic activity of poly[(2,2'-bipyridine)copper(II)-μ4-oxalato] coated on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for O2 electroreduction is examined using cyclic voltammetry and rotating disk electrode techniques. The cyclic voltammograms show that O2 is electroreduced on pBpCuOx-coated GCE surfaces at a peak potential of ? 0.25 V in pH 4.7 acetate buffer media. The electroreduction of O2 on pBpCuOx-coated GCE occurs at 450 mV more positive potential than that found at a bare GCE. The catalytic activity originates from Cu(II) coordinated by bipyridine in the complexes and the polymer type Cu-complex films exhibit an enhanced stability compared to monomeric Cu-complexes during the O2 electroreduction. The rotating disk electrode measurements reveal that the electroreduction of O2 on pBpCuOx-coated GCE is a four-electron process. Kinetic parameters for O2 reduction on pBpCuOx-coated GCE are obtained from rotating disk experiments and compared with those on bare glassy carbon electrode surfaces.

Hydrodynamic properties have been investigated for promising extraction systems: $0.05mol\;L^{-1}$ solutions of di(N-ethyl-4-ethylanilide) of 2,2'-bipyridine-6,6'-dicarboxylic acid, di(N-ethyl-4-fluoroanilide) of 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid and di(N-ethyl-4-hexylanilide) of 2,2'-bipyridine-6,6'-dicarboxylic acid in meta-nitrobenzotrifluoride (F-3) or trifluoromethylphenyl sulfone (FS-13) diluents. To evaluate the perspectives for their use as extraction mixtures at the final stage of the nuclear fuel cycle, the change in density, viscosity, surface tension, and phase separation rate under irradiation with accelerated electrons was studied. The concentrations of extractants in the irradiated mixtures have been determined and the radiation-chemical yields have been calculated. Irradiation significantly decreases the phase separation rate at the stages of extraction and back extraction for all the studied systems. The viscosity of the DYP-7 solution in FS-13 increase above the values suitable for its use in extraction processes.

Polarographic behaviors of copper and cadmium complexes with 2,2'-bipyridine and ethylenediamine in acetonitrile have been investigated by the DC and AC polarography. The reduction processes are estimated as follows; $Cu(II)-bipy. \;complex\;{\longrightarrow^{e^-}_{E_{1/2}\risingdotseq+0.1V}}\;Cu(I)-bipy.\;complex\;{\longrightarrow^{e^-}_{E_{1/2}=-0.43V}}\;Cu(Hg)$$Cu(II)-en.\;complex\;{\longrightarrow^{e^-}}\;Cu(I)-en.\;complex\;{times}\;{\longrightarrow^{e^-}_{E_{1/2}=-0.56V}}\;Cu(Hg)$$Cu(II)-bipy. \;complex\;{\longrightarrow^{e^-}_{E_{1/2}=-0.57V}}\;Cu(I)-bipy.\;complex\;{\longrightarrow^{2e^-}_{E_{1/2}=-0.97V}}\;Cd(I)-bipy\;complex$$Cu(II)-en.\;complex\;{\longrightarrow^{e^-}_{E_{1/2}=+0.05V}\;Cu(I)-en.\;complex{\longrightarrow^{e^-}_{E_{1/2}=-0.92V}}\;Cu(Hg)$ The limiting currents of all steps are controlled by diffusion. The number of ligand and the dissociation constant for Cu(Ⅰ)-bipy. complex were found to be n = 2 and $K_d=(1.5{\pm}0.1){\times}10^{-7}$, respectively.

Microperoxidase 8 (MP8) has been prepared by sequential hydrolysis of cytochrome C by pepsin and trypsin. This five-coordinated heme-octapetide fragment provides a uniques structure to evaluate the electronic coupling efficiency to the iron through axial position and porphyrin edge. At alkali pH, Ru(bpy)2(im)22+ is completely quenched in AcMP8Ru complex . Transient kinetics measurement showed the decay rate to be ~1 $\times$1012S-1. Ruthenium bipyridine complex with a carboxyl group substituted bipyridine has been prepared adn reacted with MR 8 to yield N-terminus bound RuMP8 complex. The luminescence decay rate has been measured as 1 $\times$109S-1. By using semiclassical electron transfer theory, we found the electron transfer efficiency through axial positioin of iron prophyrin is as good through prophyrin edge.
