Cr(Bpy)3（Cat No.:M082730）, or tris(bipyridine)chromium(III), is a coordination compound where a chromium(III) ion is complexed with three bipyridine (Bpy) ligands. Each bipyridine ligand is a chelating agent that forms two bonds with the chromium ion, creating a stable octahedral geometry. This compound is known for its vibrant color and photophysical properties, making it a subject of interest in photochemical studies. It is particularly studied for its ability to absorb light and undergo photo-induced electron transfer, properties that are utilized in solar energy conversion and molecular electronics applications.
