AdipoGen Diquat dibromide monohydrate

Supplier: AdipoGen CDXD0698M250

Chemical. CAS 6385-62-2. Formula C12H12Br2N2 . H2O. MW BD9837. Diquat dibromide is a non-selective contact herbicide that produces desiccation and defoliation. When acting as a herbicide, diquat inhibits photosynthesis electron transport. In light-exposed plants, it accepts an electron from photosystem I more specifically ferredoxin, to form its green radical cation. The electron is then transferred to molecular oxygen, producing destructive reactive oxygen species. This compound can be used as a reference compound for analytical studies.
