Atrazine 13C3,15N3

[13C3,15N3]-Atrazine is a labeled form of the herbicide atrazine that is used in environmental studies and agricultural research. This compound is a member of the triazine family of herbicides and is frequently used to control weeds in corn, sorghum, and sugarcane crops. The addition of stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen to atrazine allows for the tracking and monitoring of the compound in the environment. Researchers can use [13C3,15N3]-Atrazine to determine the fate and transport of atrazine in soil, water, and air. By understanding the behavior of this herbicide, scientists can develop more effective and environmentally-friendly methods of weed control. Chemically, [13C3,15N3]-Atrazine has a molecular formula of C9H6N5Cl and a molecular weight of 250.67 g/mol. It is a white crystalline powder that is soluble in water and organic solvents. The labeled atoms in [13C3,15N3]-Atrazine do not affect its herbicidal properties, and it can be used in the same manner as unlabeled atrazine. While atrazine has been shown to have negative effects on aquatic life and human health, the labeled form [13C3,15N3]-Atrazine is used in a controlled manner for research purposes only. Its use in scientific studies has contributed to a better understanding of the behavior of atrazine in the environment and its impact on ecosystem health.
