A series of cytotoxic activities $(ED_{50})$ in vitro against six human cancers (lung cancer, uterine cancer, skin cancer, brain cancer, colon cancer and adenocarcinoma) and their seventeen cell lines of 3,6-bis(2'-pyridyl)pyridazine, 1, 3,6-bis-(6'-methyl-2'-pyridyl)pyridazine, 2 and their transition metal, Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes, $3{\sim}6$ were measured. Particularly, the results revealed that the cytotoxic activities against the brain cancer cell line (SNB-19) and the colon cancer cell line (SW62) of bis- [3,6-bis-(6'-methyl-2'-pyridyl)pyridazine-$k^2N^2,N^3$]chlorocopper(II)perchlorate, 4 were shown to be higher than that of the first generation anticancer agent, Cis-platin.

The tripodal copper(II) complex [Cu(pmea)(H2O)](ClO4)2·H2O (1) (pmea = bis[(2-pyridyl)methyl]-2-(2-pyridyl)ethylamine) has been synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction method. It crystallizes in the triclinic system P-1 with a = 9.9362(9), b = 15.7299(17), c = 18.0562(11) A, α = 68.760(8), β = 76.331(6), γ = 77.092(9)°, V = 2526.2(4) A3, Z = 2. Each copper atom reveals a distorted square pyramidal with three nitrogen atoms of the pmea ligand and water molecule occupying the basal plane and one nitrogen atom from the pyridine ring according the axial position. The cyclic voltammogram of 1 undergoes reversible one-electron oxidation to the CuIII and reversible one-electron reduction to the CuI.

The coordination of pyridyl-N to pentacyanoferrate for the detection of small organic antigens in solution is presented. The unique contribution of this paper is the direct conjugation of pyridyl-N in small organic antigens to pentacyanoferrate. Pentacyanoferrate is promising as an electrochemical label owing to its good electro-chemical properties, which can be utilized to generate an electrical signal in homogeneous electrochemical immunoassays. The facilely synthesized pyridyl-N to pentacyanoferrate was characterized by the electrochemical and spectroscopic methods. Hippuric acid (HA) has been detected competitively on the interaction of free HA and pentacyanoferrate-(4-aminomethylpyridine-hippuric acid) (Fe-HA) to its antibody, with the detection limit of 0.50 ${\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$. While pentacyanoferrate-based immunoassay is in its simplicity and infancy, the proposed immunoassay offers attractive opportunities for developing pyridyl-N-based the electrochemical detection of small organic antigens in the health care area.

The surface enhanced Raman scatterings of Zn(Ⅱ) tetrakis (4-N-methyl pyridyl) porphyrins were studied in silver sol. Zn(Ⅱ) tetrakis (4-N-methyl pyridyl) porphyrin was found to be adsorbed on silver surface via flat-on geometry with some inhomogeneous distribution in the orientation of pyridyl groups. Both the selective enhancement of Raman modes depending on the mode character and the theoretical arguments of SERS are utilized to support the above conclusion. The surface induced substitution reaction of Mn(Ⅲ) tetrakis (4-N-methyl pyridyl) porphyrin chloride to Ag(Ⅱ) tetrakis (4-N-methyl pyridyl) porphyrin was detected via surface enhanced Raman spectrum.

Metallacyclodimeric complexes of $[(Me_4en)Pd(L)]_2(ClO_4)_4$ ($Me_4en$ = N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine; L = dimethylbis(4-pyridyl)silane (dmps), methylvinylbis(4-pyridyl)silane (mvps)) have been synthesized, and their structures have been characterized by X-ray single crystallography. The skeletal structures consist of one 20-membered metallamacrocycle, two 5-membered metallacycles, and four pyridyl groups. The local geometry around the palladium(II) ion approximates to a typical square planar arrangement with four nitrogen donors. Delicate difference in catalytic effects on hydrogenation was investigated based on the structure of catalyst and substrates.

Di-2-pyridyl thionocarbonate, prepared from thiophosgene and 2-hydroxypyridine in the presence of triethylamine in dichloromethane, was found to be very effective for dehydration, dehydrosulfurization, and thiocarbonyl transfer reactions. Di-2-pyridyl thionocarbonate was successfully for the esterification of carboxylic acids, dehydration of aldoximes into nitriles, preparation of isothiocyanates from amines, and preparation of cyclic thionocarbonates from 1,2- and 1,3-diols.

The fluorescence and photoisomerization quantum yields of trans-1-(9-anthryl)-2-(4-pyridyl)ethene (t-4-APyE), 1-(10-methyl-9-anthryl)-2-(4-pyridyl)ethene (t-4-MeAPyE), and 1-(10-chloro-9-anthryl)-2-(4- pyridyl)ethene (t-4-ClAPyE) were measured in cyclohexane, acetonitrile, and methanol at room temperature.Polar solvents result in the drastic reduction of fluorescence quantum yield and increase of photoisomerization quantum yield for all three compounds. These results are probably due to the stabilization of intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) excited state in polar solvent. The higher contribution of ICT in the presence of more electron-donating methyl substituent, manifested by largest positive fluorescence solvatochromism, indicates that the pyridine ring acts as an electron acceptor. Protonation or methylation makes pyridine ring stronger electron acceptor and causes long-wavelength ground state charge transfer absorption band and complete quenching of fluorescence. The fluorescence from t-4-APyE derivatives can be switched off responding external stimuli viz. medium polarity, protonation, or methylation.
