Handbook of Acid-Base Indicators (pH Indicators)

Acid-base indicators (pH indicators) are substances (dyes) that change their color with a change in pH. There is no book available in the market directly on acid-base indicators even though the use of acid-base indicators is widespread growing rapidly and has exploded recently. This updated handbook serves as a systematic and up-to-date library of information on 250+ acid-base indicators and as a practical guide for both chemists and non-chemists in industry and academia. Entries in this book are listed alphabetically and include eneral chmical name chemical structure other names CA index name CAS registry number color index number colour index name Merck index number (The Merck Index 15th Edition 2013) chemical/dye class molecular formula molecular weight physical form solubility melting point boiling point boiling point (calcd. ) pH range color-change at pH pKa pKa (calcd. ) absorption (Îmax) emission (Îmax) molar extinction coefficient quantum yield synthesis biological/medical applications industrial applications safety/toxicity certification/approval and references Numerous recent references as well as original references (when reported) have been provided on various synthetic methods biological/medical applications industrial applications and safety/toxicity data. This is the first ever book which provides safety/toxicity data with reference to acute toxicity algal toxicity amyloid toxicity aquatic toxicity bacterial toxicity carcinogenicity cardiotoxicity cardiovascular toxicity chromosomal aberrations chronic toxicity clastogenicity cytotoxicity developmental toxicity DNA damage ecotoxicity embryotoxicity endocrine disrupters environmental toxicity fish toxicity genotoxicity hematotoxicity hepatocarcinogenicity hepatotoxicity immunotoxicity membrane toxicity microbial toxicity mitochondrial toxicity mutagenicity nephrotoxicity neurotoxicity nucleic acid damage ophthalmic toxicity oral toxicity ototoxicity ovarian toxicity photodynamic toxicity photogenotoxicity phototoxicity phytotoxicity pulmonary toxicity reproductive toxicity skin toxicity subchronic toxicity teratogenicity tumorigenicity vascular toxicity and so on. The second edition of Handbook of Acid-Base Indicators (pH Indicators) has been revised enlarged and updated with several recent references and added 53 new acid-base indicators. Further the First Edition provides major applications of acid-base indicators whereas the Second Edition provides biological/medical applications and industrial applications separately. The Second Edition also provides Certification by Biological Stain Commission (BSC) and Approval by Food & Drugs Administration (FDA) of acid-base indicators wherever applicable. In addition several appendixes have been provided at the end of the book for scientists to conveniently and easily find an acid-base indicator as per their need. These appendixes include CAS Registry Numbers Colour Index Names and Colour Index Numbers Acridines Anthraquinones Aromatics Azo Benzeins Coumarins Fluorescent Hydrazines Maleins Miscellaneous Naphthalenes Nitro Phenolnaphthaleins Phthaleins Quinolines Sulfonephthaleins Triphenylmethanes and Xanthenes. .
