Organic Dyes

4-NA-ND

This is the Organic dye that me and my partner decided to synthesize in lab today, based on the recorded solubility in water and ethanol, as well as a few other benefits found with this particular dye.  The idea is to hopefully find a dye that reacts with anions in water so as to be able to test the concentration of potentially toxic anions by the use of a colorant.  In theory, if a certain anion is present, the dye will change colors to reflect the recorded anion.

This formula is property of The Ohio State University Chemistry Department
