Evidence of Complex Formation between Chlorpromazine and Different Xanthene Dyes

Nature volume 209, pages 201–202 (1966)Cite this article

Abstract

THE formation of charge-transfer complex between flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and serotonin has been examined in detail1, as a good example for a complex of biochemical interest and of characteristic colour change. Chlorpromazine can also form complexes with FMN and rhodamine B11,12.
