Chlorophosphonazo mA is widely used as a chromogenic reagent in analytical chemistry, particularly for the spectrophotometric determination of metal ions. Its high sensitivity and selectivity make it valuable for detecting trace amounts of elements like rare earth metals, calcium, and magnesium in various samples, including environmental, biological, and industrial materials. The reagent forms stable, colored complexes with these metal ions, enabling accurate quantitative analysis. Additionally, it is employed in research laboratories for studying metal ion interactions and in quality control processes to ensure the purity of materials in industries such as metallurgy and pharmaceuticals. Its application extends to water treatment analysis, where it helps monitor metal contamination levels.
