CAS 1910-42-5: Methyl viologen

Description: Methyl viologen, also known as paraquat, is a synthetic compound with the chemical formula C12H14N2. It is characterized by its bright blue color in its cationic form and is primarily used as a herbicide due to its ability to disrupt photosynthesis in plants. Methyl viologen is a bipyridinium compound, featuring two pyridine rings connected by a nitrogen atom, which contributes to its strong electrochemical properties. It is highly soluble in water and exhibits a positive charge, making it a potent electron acceptor. However, it is also known for its toxicity to humans and animals, leading to severe health risks if ingested or improperly handled. In addition to its agricultural applications, methyl viologen has been studied for its potential use in redox flow batteries and as a mediator in various electrochemical processes. Safety precautions are essential when working with this compound due to its hazardous nature, and it is classified as a restricted substance in many regions.
