General description

1,5-Diphenylcarbazide (DPC) is a colorimetric reagent commonly employed in the determination of trace metals.

Application

1,5-Diphenylcarbazide may be used in the following processes:
  • Quantification of palladium and platinum by spectrophotometry.
  • As a mediator for the functionalization of carbon paste electrodes employed in the estimation of Hg(II) ions by differential pulse voltammetry.
  • Alteration of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), employed for the detection of chromium (VI) ions via colorimetry.

The interaction of Fe(II) and Fe(III) with the 'high-affinity Mn-binding site' in Mn-depleted photosystem II (PSII) was investigated using diphenilcarbazide (DPC)/2,6-dichlorophenol-indophenol (DCIP) inhibition assay. Fe(III) was ineffective in the inhibition of DPC-DCIP reaction while Fe(II) decreased the rate of DCIP
