Dimethylglyoxime is a chelate ligand that can be used as an antimicrobial agent. The compound binds to metals, such as iron and copper, which are found in wastewater and industrial effluents. Dimethylglyoxime can also chelate metal ions that are present in the water supply. This property makes it an effective agent for removing heavy metals from water. Dimethylglyoxime has been shown to react with various metal ions by means of Langmuir adsorption isotherms and fluorescence spectrometry. When this reaction occurs, the compound forms a complex with the metal ion. The model system is a solution of dimethylglyoxime with sodium citrate and tetramethylammonium chloride (TMA). The reaction mechanism involves protonation and deprotonation of the ligand, which occurs when the pH is changed from acidic to basic conditions. The plasma mass spectrometry technique has been used to detect the presence of dimethyl

Applications A degradation product of herbicide Molinate in pot soil and rice plants.
