CAS 3051-09-0: Murexide
Description:Murexide, also known as ammonium purpurate, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C8H8N4O6. It is characterized by its bright purple color, which is a result of its complex structure that includes both nitrogen and oxygen functional groups. Murexide is primarily used as a color indicator in analytical chemistry, particularly for the detection of metal ions such as copper and nickel, due to its ability to form colored complexes with these metals. It is soluble in water and exhibits a distinctive color change when it interacts with various metal ions, making it a valuable tool in titrations and qualitative analysis. Additionally, murexide has applications in the field of biochemistry and as a dye in various industries. Its stability under normal conditions and its relatively low toxicity make it suitable for laboratory use. However, like many chemical substances, it should be handled with care, following appropriate safety protocols.
