Description
Diphenylglyoxime (CAS No. 23873-81-6) is a high-purity organic compound with the molecular formula C14H12N2O2, widely utilized in analytical chemistry and research applications. This white to off-white crystalline powder is a derivative of glyoxime, featuring two phenyl groups attached to the central dioxime structure. Its exceptional chelating properties make it invaluable for the detection and quantification of transition metals, particularly nickel and palladium, through selective precipitation or spectrophotometric methods. With a melting point range of 235-240°C and low solubility in water (but good solubility in organic solvents like ethanol and DMSO), it is ideal for laboratory use. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control (HPLC, NMR) to ensure ≥98% purity, meeting the stringent requirements of pharmaceutical, metallurgical, and materials science research.
