TL;DR: In this paper, a sample from a suspect source is subjected serially to the indicated reagents in the liquid phase, the reagents after the first being applied only if no color reaction has been obtained in the preceding test.
Abstract: In a color reaction method for detecting particular classes of explosives, a sample from a suspect source is subjected serially to the indicated reagents in the liquid phase, the reagents after the first being applied only if no color reaction has been obtained in the preceding test. The second and third reagents only are applied in presence of the preceding reagent(s). The first reagent is an alkaline solution of a diazotizable aminoaromatic azo-dye precursor, which detects nitroaromatic explosives. The second reagent is a strongly acidic reagent containing a nitrate to nitrite ion reducing agent and a diazo-coupler, which detects organic nitrates and nitramines. The third reagent is zinc powder suspended in a liquid, which detects inorganic nitrates. The fourth reagent is an aniline salt in a homogeneous strongly acidic solution including a water-miscible organic solvent, which detects chlorates and bromates. The invention includes also a test kit for use in the method.

TL;DR: A flow injection method for the determination of formaldehyde was developed in this paper, based on its reaction with 3-methyl-2-benzthiazolinone hydrazone (MBTH) to yield a blue formazan anion.
Abstract: A flow injection method for the determination of formaldehyde was developed. It is based on its reaction with 3-methyl-2-benzthiazolinone hydrazone (MBTH) to yield a blue formazan anion. Typically 180 μl samples are injected into a buffered carrier stream with a frequency of 30 per hour. This sample line merges with the reagent stream containing MBTH, whereupon an azine is formed. After merging with a second stream containing an acidic solution of FeCl3 as reagent, MBTH is oxidized to an intermediate that attacks the azine yielding the formazan dye with an ɛmax at 635 nm. The method was applied to formaldehyde concentrations in the range from 0.15 mg/l to 15 mg/l. The relative standard deviation was 2.3% for 3 mg/l formaldehyde, and 5.1% for 0.3 mg/l, respectively. Strong reducing agents like nitrite interfere seriously. Out of the family of carbonyl compounds only acetaldehyde and propionaldehyde cause strong positive interference.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for indirect spectrophotometric determination of H2O2 is based on its oxidation with chlorine in basic medium and measurement of the unreacted Cl2 by the colour reaction with o-tolidine at 438 nm.
Abstract: A method for the indirect spectrophotometric determination of H2O2 is based on its oxidation with chlorine in basic medium and measurement of the unreacted Cl2 by the colour reaction with o-tolidine at 438 nm. The effective molar absorptivity for H2O2 with o-tolidine is 5.37×104 mol−1 cm−1 at pH 1.7. The lower limit of determination is 1.85×10−7 mol/l or 6.29 ppb. Br−, I−, NO−2, Pb2+ and Sn2+ interfere even in small amounts, but are not present in commercial H2O2.

TL;DR: Using the results of quantum-chemical calculations (MNDO, PPP) the basic chromophoric system was identified as two coupled five-membered rings which have partial anti-aromatic character like the antiaromatic cyclopentadienyl cation as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The long-wavelength absorption of the dye formed at the ninhydrin-amino acid color reaction is caused by the anion (enolate) of diketohydrindamine-diketohydrindylidene (Ruhemann's purple). Using the results of quantum-chemical calculations (MNDO, PPP) the basic chromophoric system was identified as two coupled five-membered rings which have partial anti-aromatic character like the antiaromatic cyclopentadienyl cation

TL;DR: In this article, color development based on the ion association of molybdophosphate with a cationic dye, a chloro derivative of Malachite Green (Cl-MG), was investigated in an aqueous acidic solution.
Abstract: Color development based on the ion association of molybdophosphate with a cationic dye, a chloro derivative of Malachite Green (Cl-MG), was investigated in an aqueous acidic solution. Cl-MG is very stable as its quinoid form in an acidic medium, and can easily react with molybdophosphate to form a green ion associate, which shows maximum absorption at 685nm. The experimental conditions for optimum color development have been examined. This color development reaction could be applied to the determination of trace amounts of orthophosphate. The molar absorptivity was 1.3×105dm3 mol-1cm-1 at 685nm.

TL;DR: An assay method for determining organic hydroperoxides based on indamine dye formation using a water-soluble iron-(III) porphyrin as catalyst was developed, suggesting a general acid-base catalyzed reaction involving a heterolytic cleavage of the O-O bond.
Abstract: An assay method for determining organic hydroperoxides based on indamine dye formation using a water-soluble iron-(III) porphyrin as catalyst was developed. The assay was performed at pH 4.4 under anaerobic conditions and was applicable to flow-injection analysis. t-Butyl hydroperoxide was determined over the range of 1 to 40 nmol with r=0.999 and SD(%)=2.4 (n=5 at 4.8nmol). The mechanism of the catalytic reaction is discussed based on kinetic measurements, suggesting a general acid-base catalyzed reaction involving a heterolytic cleavage of the O-O bond.
