|  |  | 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.] |
