Chlorophenol red is an indicator dye that changes color from yellow to violet in the pH range 4.8 to 6.7. The pH of a substance is determined by taking the negative logarithm of the Hydronium ion concentration and the indictor changes color due to the dissociation of H+ ions.[1] The lambda max is at 572 nm.[2]
Properties and Uses of Chlorophenol Red
The dissociation mechanism of Chlorophenol Red is similar to that of phenolphthalein meaning it can be used as a color indicator. The dissociation of hydroxyl and hydrogen atoms creates the dissociate scheme of chlorophenol red to change color from yellow to red.[3] The pH properties of chlorophenol red are used to selectively determine the amount of chlorine dioxide in drinking water. Chlorophenol red selectively reacts with 0.1-1.9 mg l^-1 chlorine dioxide at pH 7. [4] The electrochemical properties of Chlorophenol red allows it to be a chromogenic label and can undergo oxidation creating several phenolic intermediates. The bacterial hydrolysis of a chlorophenol red labelled substrate produces chlorine retaining intermediates on electrodes. [5]
