Product Information

• Name: 2,6-Pyridinedimethanol
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2,6-Pyridinedimethanol (PDM) is an intramolecular hydrogen donor that coordinates to the metal of a substrate molecule to form a chelate ligand. The ligand can then be displaced by water and hydrochloric acid, releasing the substrate molecule. PDM has been shown to exist in two different coordination geometries, which are designated as group p2 and tetranuclear. When PDM is coordinated with copper (Cu), it forms a carboxylate complex. The x-ray crystal structures of both of these coordination geometries have been elucidated.
