N /j\ \l/ N which is found in phenazins. of which neutral red and the safranins are good representatives. The skeleton formula of a safranin is: H,X X NHa X / \ in which x represents the negative ion of a monobasic acid such as hydrochloric, acetic, nitric or sulfuric. This chromophore is capable of variety of rearrangements of its valency bonds, as the bond between the two nitrogen atoms may disappear and the com- pound assume a quinoid structure, as for example the following grouping: /\ X /\_XH. 3. The indamin group, —X = , as observed in the indamins, thiazins, and so forth. Methylene blue is the best known repre- sentative of this group. In these dyes, two benzene rings are at- 17.
