Xylenol orange is an organic

titrations, it will appear red in the titrand and become yellow once it reaches its endpoint. Historically, commercial preparations of it have been notoriously impure,[2] sometimes consisting of as little as 20% xylenol orange, and containing large amounts of semi-xylenol orange and iminodiacetic acid
. Purities as high as 90% are now available.

It is fluorescent, and has excitation maximums of 440 & 570 nm and an emission maximum of 610 nm.[3]
