A 2,2′-bipyridine-appended ferrocene rotor, 1,1′-di(5-yl-ethynyl-2,2′-bipyridine)ferrocene, can be switched from a folded/stacked (syn) conformation to an extended/unstacked (anti) conformation by the addition of [Cu(CH3CN)4](PF6) and 6,6′-dimesityl-2,2′-bipyridine. This extension and contraction process was completely reversible and could be triggered either chemically or electrochemically.

With the goal of improving previously reported Mn bipyridine electrocatalysts in terms of increased activity and reduced overpotential, a bulky bipyridine ligand, 6,6′-dimesityl-2,2′-bipyridine (mesbpy), was utilized to eliminate dimerization in the catal
