2-Phenylpyridine is an organic compound with the formula C6H5C5H4N (or C11H9N). It is a colourless viscous liquid. The compound and related derivatives have attracted interest as precursors to highly fluorescent metal complexes of possible value as organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs).Iridium(III) in Optoelectronic and Photonics Applications Eli Zysman-Colman 2017 John Wiley & Sons 978-1-119-00713-5
The compound is prepared by the reaction of phenyl lithium with pyridine:Evans J. C. W. Allen C. F. H. 2-Phenylpyridine Organic Syntheses 1938 18 70 10.15227/orgsyn.018.0070 free
