    Introduction

    Basic Violet 10 commonly known as Rhodamine B or Basic Rhodamine B, is a triphenylmethane-based basic dye with strong fluorescence.

    Physicochemical Properties

    Basic Rhodamine B is easily identifiable due to its striking appearance and strong fluorescence.

    Appearance
    Dark greenish-purple or bright green shimmering crystals/powder.
    Fluorescence
    Aqueous solution exhibits a peach-pink fluorescence with a yellowish-green tinge.
    Solubility
    Easily soluble in water and ethanol; aqueous solution is blue-red; slightly soluble in acetone, chloroform, and sodium hydroxide solution.
    Melting Point
    Approximately 210-211°C (decomposes).
    Chemical Properties

    Turns yellowish-brown with strong green fluorescence upon contact with concentrated sulfuric acid; upon dilution, turns bright red → blue-red → orange.

    Aqueous solution with NaOH produces a rose-red color; heating produces a hairy precipitate.

    Aqueous solution reacts with hydrochloric acid to precipitate fine green crystals.

    Main Industrial and Scientific Applications

    Basic Violet 10 (Basic Rhodamine B) has a wide range of applications, mainly focusing on the following:

    Industrial Dyeing:  Used in the paper industry for dyeing waxed paper and typing paper; used in the textile industry for dyeing acrylic, silk, hemp, wool, and other fabrics; also used for coloring leather, wood, and straw.
    Pigment Production: Through reaction with substances such as phosphotungstic molybdic acid, it can produce lake pigments with high lightfastness and vibrant colors, used in the manufacture of paints, pigments, and inks.
    Research Applications: In the laboratory, it is a classic fluorescent staining agent for observing cell morphology and structure; it can also be used as an adsorption indicator in analytical chemistry for titration analysis.
    Other Industrial Applications: Due to its vibrant color and fluorescent effect, it is also used for coloring colored glass and specialty fireworks.
