Brilliant Green is one of the triarylmethane dyes.

Some triarylmethane dyes can be grouped into families of dyes with very similar structures.

Triarylmethane dyes are synthetic organic compounds containing triphenylmethane backbones.

Examples of triarylmethane dyes are bromocresol green:

Millions of kilograms of MG and related triarylmethane dyes are produced annually for this purpose.

Reaction of chloroform with aromatic compounds using an aluminium chloride catalyst gives triarylmethanes, which are often brightly colored, as is the case in triarylmethane dyes.

DMA is a key precursor to commercially important triarylmethane dyes such as Malachite green and Crystal violet.

Triphenylmethane is the basic skeleton of many synthetic dyes called triarylmethane dyes, many of them are pH indicators, and some display fluorescence.

Bromocresol Green (BCG) is a dye of the triphenylmethane family (triarylmethane dyes), which is used as a pH indicator and as a tracking dye for DNA agarose gel electrophoresis.
