Usage

General Description

1,1'-[[[4-[(2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl)azo]phenyl]imino]diethylene]dipyridinium dichloride is a complex organic compound that is classified as a bisquaternary ammonium salt. It is commonly used as a selective herbicide, particularly in controlling broadleaf weeds in crops like corn and sorghum. The compound has a bright orange color and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. It is usually applied as a water-soluble salt formulation, and its mode of action involves inhibiting chlorophyll biosynthesis in the targeted plant, leading to rapid wilting and death. However, due to its potential toxicity and environmental impact, its use is regulated and requires careful handling and application.
