This book discusses the chemistry and applications of pyridine derivatives. The library of pyridine derivatives is growing steadily with numerous synthetic analogues already described and the identification of new, naturally occurring pyridine-based compounds. The book includes ten chapters organized into two parts. The first part focuses on the numerous types of reactions that arise from pyridine derivatives. The second part examines the pharmaceutical applications of pyridine derivatives as well as their usefulness as sensors for metal cations and extracting agents for platinum group metals.

Pyridine: A Useful Ligand in Transition Metal Complexes

By Satyanarayan Pal

Pyridine (C5H5N) is being the simplest six-membered heterocycles, closely resembles its structure to benzene. The “N” in benzene ring has its high electronegativity influence on resonance environment and produces markedly different chemistry from its carbon analog. The presence of nitrogen and its lone pair in an aromatic environment makes pyridine a unique substance in chemistry. The sp2 lone pair orbital of “N,” directed outward the ring skeleton, is well directed to have overlap with vacant metal orbital in producing an σ bonding interaction. This causes pyridine to be a ligand and has been utilized with all transition metals in producing the array of metal complexes. A rich literature of metal complexes is now available with pyridine and its derivatives. Innumerable complexes have been synthesized with academic as well as industrial importance. To shed a light on ligating capability of pyridine, transition metal complexes with pyridine, and its derivative is presented in this chapter.
