AdipoGen Neocuproine hemihydrate

Chemical. CAS 484-11-7. Formula C14H12N2 . 0.5H2O. MW 217.27. Neocuproine is a complexing reagent, known for its ability to form stable complexes with metal ions, particularly CU2 ions. This property makes it valuable in various analytical and research applications, including spectrophotometry and electrochemistry. In the presence of CU2 ions, neocuproine forms a brightly colored complex that can be used for the quantitative determination of copper in solution. The Neocuproine-CU2 complex exists in a 21 ratio with a maximum absorption at 454 nm. Neocuproine is used in complex with Cu2 as chromogenic oxidant in the total antioxidant capacity assay CUPRAC method. In addition to its analytical uses, neocuproine and its derivatives have been employed in the field of coordination chemistry to study and synthesize metal complexes.
