Product Overview
Bathophenanthroline 99% AR is a high-purity analytical reagent designed for demanding laboratory applications. This orange-red crystalline powder exhibits exceptional sensitivity in complexometric titrations, particularly for iron(II) detection, forming stable colored complexes that enable precise spectrophotometric analysis. Its analytical reagent (AR) grade ensures minimal impurities, making it suitable for quantitative determinations where accuracy is critical. The compound’s unique structure allows it to function as an effective redox indicator, with its color transition providing clear visual endpoints in titration procedures. The powder form offers excellent solubility in organic solvents while maintaining stability under standard laboratory conditions. This reagent is particularly valued for its ability to form intensely colored complexes even at low concentrations, enhancing detection limits in analytical procedures. The 99% purity level guarantees reliable, reproducible results across multiple experimental setups, reducing variability in research outcomes.
FAQs
1. What is the solubility profile of Bathophenanthroline 99% AR?
Bathophenanthroline is soluble in ethanol, methanol, and chloroform but has limited solubility in water. For aqueous applications, it’s typically dissolved in organic solvents first.
2. Can this reagent be used for iron(III) detection?
Bathophenanthroline primarily forms colored complexes with iron(II). For iron(III) detection, a reducing agent is required to convert Fe³⺠to Fe²⺠before complexation.
3. What storage conditions are recommended for maintaining stability?
Store in a tightly sealed container, protected from light and moisture, at room temperature. Avoid prolonged exposure to air to prevent oxidation.
4. Are there any known interferences when using this reagent?
Copper, cobalt, and nickel ions can interfere with iron determination. Masking agents or selective extraction may be required for accurate analysis in complex matrices.
5. What is the typical shelf life of this product?
When stored under recommended conditions, Bathophenanthroline 99% AR maintains its specifications for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture.
