Product Description

Quinhydrone is a 1:1 molecular complex of quinone and hydroquinone (C₆H₄O₂·C₆H₆O₂), recognized for its distinct redox properties. It appears as dark green to black crystalline needles and is widely used as a redox indicator, electrode reference material, and analytical reagent in electrochemistry and pH measurement.

In laboratory applications, Quinhydrone is primarily employed to establish quinhydrone electrodes for determining the hydrogen ion concentration (pH) in aqueous solutions. It is also used in oxidation-reduction titrations, potential measurements, and educational demonstrations involving redox equilibria.
