Usage

General Description

1,1''-[1,2-Phenylenebis(methylene)]bis-4,4'-bipyridinium bishexafluorophosphate is a chemical compound that is commonly known as paraquat. It is a highly toxic herbicide that is used to control weed growth in agricultural and non-agricultural settings. Paraquat works by disrupting photosynthesis in plants, ultimately leading to their death. However, it is also highly toxic to humans and animals, and can cause severe lung damage if inhaled, as well as skin and eye irritation upon contact. Ingestion of paraquat can be lethal, and there is no known antidote for its toxicity. Due to its high toxicity, paraquat is strictly regulated and its use requires special training and protective equipment to prevent exposure and poisoning.

ANALYTE DETECTION USING NEAR-INFRARED FLUOROPHORES

Embodiments of compounds for selectively detecting an analyte are disclosed, along with methods and kits for detecting analytes with the compounds. The compounds are bridged viologen conjugates including at least one fluorophore according to the general structure At least one of R1/R2, R2/R3, R3/R4, R5/R6, R6/R7, and/or R7/R8 together form a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl or aryl.

SINGLE AND DOUBLE BRIDGED VIOLOGENES AND INTRAMOLECULAR PIMERIZATION OF THEIR CATION RADICALS

As an extension of our studies dealing with reversible redox systems, six tetraquaternary salts have been synthetized.These compounds contain two 4,4'-bipyridinium units which are connected by either one or two rigid bridges.The single bridged systems (o-
