2-Phenylpyridine is an organic compound with the chemical formula C9H7N. It is a colorless liquid with a pyridine-like odor. It is used in various applications including pharmaceuticals, materials science, and research due to its aromatic properties.

2-Phenylpyridine is primarily used in the synthesis of other organic compounds, as a ligand in coordination chemistry, and in the pharmaceutical industry. It also finds applications in materials science and as a reagent in chemical research.

2-Phenylpyridine is generally considered safe for handling when appropriate safety measures are taken. However, it is flammable and can be harmful if swallowed or inhaled. Proper handling, ventilation, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and goggles are recommended. It is not toxic by skin contact but can cause irritation. Follow all safety guidelines and consult the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for detailed information.

2-Phenylpyridine should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat and sources of ignition. It should be kept in a tightly sealed container to protect it from moisture and light. Store at room temperature or below, avoiding exposure to direct sunlight and high temperatures. Maintain a temperature below 25°C to ensure stability and prevent degradation. Handle with care to avoid spillage and ensure proper ventilation during use.
