The present perspective focuses on a rarely observed pyridine bridge [µ-ŋ¹(N)] over a transition metal ion, yielding complexes of varying geometry and nuclearity. Using over 20 of these types of ligands the stereochemical properties of approximately 37 discrete coordination complexes have been interpreted and studied by Single-Crystal X-Ray Crystallography. Notably this class of complexes have been utilised for pharmacological and biological activities. Recently few groups observed that bridged pyridine complexes can be employed in the field of catalysis. Other applications include their employment for magneto-chemical studies as well as in supramolecular chemistry. The ligands are arranged systematically making easy access to information on specific type of ligands and their corresponding coordination complexes.
