Looking into the Photo-stability of Eosin by Electrochemical Methods
Sabatini, F. ; Sokolová, Romana ; Degano, I.
Eosin Y is a synthetic organic dye belonging to the xanthene family. Its bright and fluorescent\npink hue attracted and intrigued the painters of the 19th century, who experimented eosin as\npigment lake (often called Geranium lake) in their paintings. Nevertheless, eosin coloration is\nas beautiful as unstable, and examples of work of arts with faded hues have been documented.\nEosin is not only photo-sensitive but also pH sensitive, making its study very complex. In this\nwork, the combination of electrochemical and spectroscopic techniques revealed to be effective\nfor correlating the physical evidence of eosin fading with its chemical degradation.
