• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4,4'-(1-Methylene)bis-benzonitrile is a coordination compound that belongs to the class of heterocyclic compounds. It is predominately used in crystallography and mass spectrometry. 4,4'-(1-Methylene)bis-benzonitrile has anions with tetradentate binding sites. These anions are mononuclear, which means they form one covalent bond with the ligand. This compound is usually synthesized by reacting 4-chlorobenzonitrile with ammonia in the presence of a base such as potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide. The electron deficient nature of the ligands in 4,4'-(1-Methylene)bis-benzonitrile leads to its fluorescent properties.
