| | Quinhydrone Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | a dark green crystalline powder which is a complex formed by benzoquinone and hydroquinone.

Quinhydrone is a general reagent used in potentiometric titrations. It can also be used as a π-acceptor in the formation of charge-transfer complex of analytes for spectrophotometric analysis.
| | Uses | In pH determinations (quinhydrone electrode). | | Uses | Quinhydrone is a hydrogen bonded 1:1 charge transfer complex of hydroquinone and p-benzo-quinone having semiconducting properties.
Quinhydrone is addition compound of one mol hydroquinone and one mol Benzoquinone.
Quinhydrone electrode is a type of redox electrode which can be used to measure the hydrogen ion concentration (pH) of a solution in a chemical experiment.
Quinhydrone/methanol treatment for the measurement of carrier lifetime in crystalline silicon substrates has been reported. Surface passivation of silicon substrates by quinhydrone/ethanol treatment has been investigated. | | Uses | Used to measure the hydrogen ion concentration (pH) of a solution in a chemical experiment. It provides an alternative to the commonly used glass electrode in a pH meter. | | Definition | ChEBI: Quinhydrone is an addition compound. It contains a 1,4-benzoquinone and a hydroquinone. | | General Description | Quinhydrone/methanol treatment for the measurement of carrier lifetime in crystalline silicon substrates has been reported. Surface passivation of silicon substrates by quinhydrone/ethanol treatment has been investigated. | | Hazard | Toxic by ingestion. | | Purification Methods | Crystallise quinhydrone from H2O at 65o , then dry it in vacuo.[Beilstein 7 H 617, 7 IV 2069.] |
