Application

Dithizone may be used for the following purposes:
  • As an extracting agent for the extraction of copper in kerosene.
  • Alteration of graphene oxide nano-sheet to improve its adsorption capacity.
  • Preparation of magnetite nanoparticles/silicon dioxide-dithizone-palladium complex (MNPs/SiO2-DTZ-Pd complex), which is employed as a catalyst for Suzuki type coupling reactions.
  • Surface modification of mesoporous silica membranes.
  • As a titrant in the quantitative determination of heavy metals.

The ability of metal chelating agents to affect seizure-induced neuronal death caused by intra-amygdaloid injections of kainic acid was investigated. N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine (TPEN), diethyldithiocarbamate (DEDTC) and diphenylthiocarbazone (dithizone), administered simultaneously or within 30 min of a kainate injection, all failed to
