2,2'-Dipyridylamine (dpa) and related compounds belong to the family of polydentate nitrogen ligands. More than a century has passed since its first report but new complexes and applications have been emerging in the recent years owing to the versatility of dpa-based architectures. This review aims to present and highlight the main achievements attained with dpa-containing metal complexes in the domains of homogeneous catalysis and luminescent materials.
