dark red crystals or powder
Reinecke salt may be used as a precipitation reagent for the isolation of quaternary ammonium alkaloids (QAAs) in the dried powder of Rhizoma Corydalis. Quantitative analysis of these QAAs was conducted by MALDI-MS (Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization - Mass Spectrometry). It may be used for the fabrication of bulk Meldola blue-zirconium phosphate-Reinecke salt screen-printed electrodes (bMBZrPRs-SPEs).
Reinecke salt is used in preparation and characterization of in situ Carbon paste and screen-printed potentiometric sensors for determination of Econazole Nitrate, surface analysis using SEM and EDX.Dyes and metabolites.
Reinecke salt [ammonium tetrarhodanatodiamminechromate(III)] is an ammonium salt. It participates in the quantitative precipitation of histones as well as basic compounds present in an acid tissue extract by forming reineckate complexes.
reagent type: catalyst
core: chromium
Crystallise it from water, between 30o and 0o, while working under artificial light. Solutions of reineckate salt (aqueous or alcoholic) decompose slowly at room temperature in the dark (~2 weeks) and more rapidly at higher temperatures or in diffuse sunlight. The solutions are blue in colour and liberate HCN (POISONOUS). Store it dry in the dark under a vacuum. [Dakin Org Synth Coll Vol II 555 1943.]
