1, 5-Diphenyl Carbazone

Description :

Diphenylcarbazide is a member of phenylhydrazines. Used as an indicator in titrating iron and for the colorimetric determination of chromium and the detection of cadmium, mercury, magnesium, aldehydes, and emetine.
Chemical Formula: C₁₅H₁₁N₃
Molecular Weight: Approximately 221.27 g/mol
Carbazone Ring: The core structure is a carbazone ring, which is a derivative of carbazide with a phenyl substituent.
Phenyl Groups: Two phenyl groups are attached to the 1 and 5 positions of the carbazone ring.
Appearance: Typically a crystalline solid.
Melting Point: Around 238-242°C
Solubility: Soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and acetone.
Analytical Chemistry: Used as a reagent in colorimetric assays for the detection and quantification of metal ions. For example, it can form colored complexes with metal ions like copper, which can be measured spectrophotometrically.Material Science: The properties of the metal complexes formed could be studied for potential applications in materials science.
