Application

2,2'-Biimidazole serves multiple purposes owing to its solubility in polar solvents like methanol, water, and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). It is crucial in the preparation of photoluminescent and optically active complexes, as well as bismuth biimidazoles that function as semi-conductors. This organic reagent is versatile and indispensable in various applications: it aids in the synthesis of catalytically active coordination compounds by acting as a Lewis base, forming effective catalysts with metal ions such as Cu(I), Ag(I), Au(I-II), and palladium; it contributes to the construction of hypercrosslinked polymers, including 2,2'-biimidazolyl HCPs, which serve as efficient adsorbents and sensors for environmental remediation tasks like iodine capture and DNP detection; and it is involved in the creation of fluorescent proteins, nanoparticles, and several ligand compounds.
