“…Due to its vibrant red colour even at low concentrations, safranine is widely used in various industrial products such as textiles, paper, and cosmetics. 1,2 Additionally, safranine has demonstrated diverse applications in scientific research, including its use in biological staining, 3 volumetric analysis, 4 electrochemical sensors, 5 biosensors, 6 antimicrobial materials, 7 digital light processing 3D printing, 8 nanoconjugate reagents, 9 cell imaging and anticancer drug delivery. 10 Recently, the structural similarity between the phenazine moiety in safranine and the isoalloxazine headgroup in riboflavin, an established photosensitive fluorochrome, 11 has inspired researchers to investigate its potential application in photoredox catalysts 12,13 (Fig.…”
