Usage

General Description

1,1'-Bis(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-4,4'-bipyridinium dichloride, also known as paraquat, is a highly toxic chemical compound commonly used as an herbicide. It is a quaternary ammonium salt that is bright red in color and is soluble in water. Paraquat is a non-selective herbicide, meaning it kills a wide range of plants upon contact. However, it is also extremely toxic to humans, and even small amounts of paraquat can prove fatal if ingested. It is classified as a restricted-use pesticide in the United States due to its high toxicity, and it has been banned in certain countries. The chemical works by disrupting the photosynthetic process in plants, ultimately leading to their death. Due to its high toxicity, paraquat must be handled and used with extreme caution, and it is important to take proper safety precautions when working with this chemical.

Magnetic and Photochromic Properties of a Manganese(II) Metal-Zwitterionic Coordination Polymer

The solvothermal reaction of Mn(ClO4)2, NaN3, and a rigid viologen-tethered tetracarboxylic acid (1,1′-bis(3,5-dicarboxyphenyl)-4,4′-bipyridinium chloride, [H4L]Cl2) led to a coordination polymer of f

Fluorescence enhancement of Di-p-tolyl viologen by complexation in cucurbit[7]uril

A viologen derivative, 1,1′-di-p-tolyl-(4,4′-bipyridine)-1, 1′-diium dichloride (DTV2+), was studied in solution and encapsulated in cucurbit[7]uril (CB7), a macrocyclic host. Upon encapsulation, DTV2+ exhibited dramatically enhanced

Radiochromic Hydrogen-Bonded Organic Frameworks for X-ray Detection

Porous materials have been investigated as efficient photochromic platforms for detecting hazardous radiation, while the utilization of hydrogen bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) in this field has remained intact. Herein, two HOFs were synthesized through

Variation of the viologen electron relay in cyclodextrin-based self-assembled systems for photoinduced hydrogen evolution from water

The light-driven reduction of protons for the production of molecular hydrogen in multicomponent systems depends on electron relays such as viologens. We describe here the effect of viologens appended with guest moieties (adamantane or bile acid) on the e
