Description

Tolonium chloride is a chemical compound used as an optical sensor for the measurement of water vapor. It has been shown to be effective against a number of microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi. Tolonium chloride is used in a model system to study the structural analysis of biological samples. It has also been used as an antimicrobial agent in various industries, such as textiles and food processing. The mechanisms by which tolonium chloride kills microorganisms are not well understood. However, it is believed that the reaction produces nitrite ions that react with magnesium salt at high temperatures to form nitric oxide gas (NO). This gas reacts with oxygen to produce ozone, which damages bacterial cell membranes and kills the microbes. Tolonium chloride can be activated by mixing it with a strong acid, such as nitric acid or sulfuric acid, which creates an electrochemical process that can be monitored using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.
