Aqueous solutions of K[Cr(NH3)2(SCN)4].H20 (the potassium Reinecke's salt) can be used as a photochemical reference system for radiations in the visible region. The results of complementary studies o n the improvement of analytical procedures, the direct synthesis of the salt and its thermal reactivity are reported. The possibilities of the application of the system are also discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
