Chlorophenol red is an indicator dye that changes color from yellow to violet in the pH range 5.4 to 6.8. [2] The pH of a substance is determined by taking the negative logarithm of the Hydronium ion concentration and the indictor changes color due to the dissociation of H+ ions. [3] The lambda max is at 572 nm. [4]

Properties and uses

The dissociation mechanism of chlorophenol red is similar to that of phenolphthalein meaning it can be used as a color indicator. The dissociation of hydroxyl and hydrogen atoms creates the dissociate scheme of chlorophenol red to change color from yellow to red. [5] The pH properties of chlorophenol red are used to selectively determine the amount of chlorine dioxide in drinking water. Chlorophenol red selectively reacts with 0.1–1.9 mg/L chlorine dioxide at pH 7. [6] The electrochemical properties of Chlorophenol red allows it to be a chromogenic label and can undergo oxidation creating several phenolic intermediates. The bacterial hydrolysis of a chlorophenol red labelled substrate produces chlorine retaining intermediates on electrodes. [7]
