4-Nitro-2,6-diphenylphenol is a green dye that has been used to color paper and textiles. It is a uv-mediated dye that can be modified with oxygenation or chloride groups to change its color. This compound is also an effective disinfectant and has been shown to be particularly useful in the removal of bacteria in water vapor. The mechanism of action for this compound is mediated by its size, which allows it to penetrate through the bacterial cell wall, killing the cells. 4-Nitro-2,6-diphenylphenol has been shown to have some selective properties against certain bacteria (e.g., Staphylococcus aureus) while being nonselective against other types of bacteria (e.g., Escherichia coli).
