Description

Ferrozine is a heterocyclic organic compound that forms a highly colored, water-soluble complex with ferrous ions (Fe2+). This complex is intensely colored and can be used to spectrophotometrically determine iron concentrations in a variety of samples. Ferrozine is often used in analytical chemistry, particularly in the determination of iron in water, soil, and biological samples. It is also used in other applications, such as the study of iron-binding proteins and the development of iron-based sensors. Ferrozine is synthesized by the condensation of 3-(2-pyridyl)-5,6-diphenyl-1,2,4-triazine with 2,4,6-tri(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine. Ferrozine can be synthesized by various methods. The iron-ferrozine complex is highly stable and has a molar absorptivity of approximately 27,900 L/mol·cm at 562 nm. Ferrozine can be used to measure iron in various matrices, including water, soil, and biological samples. It is often used as a reagent in analytical chemistry, particularly in the determination of iron in water, soil, and biological samples. It is also used in other applications, such as the study of iron-binding proteins and the development of iron-based sensors.'
