Viologens are organic compounds with the formula (CHNR). In some viologens, the pyridyl groups are further modified. Viologens are called so, because these compounds produce violet color on reduction [violet + Latin gen, generator of]. The viologen paraquat (R = methyl), is a widely used herbicide. As early as in the...
