Azulene is an isomer of napthalene visibly identifiable by its dark blue hue. As such it is used in the preparation of dyes. Azulene is used as an additive in ointments. It is an active ingredient in cosmetics, shaving creams and other topicals. It is used as antioxidant and in anti-inflammatory activities. It is involved in the colorimetric determination of furfural. It acts as ligand for low valent metals and forms pi complexes with both cyclopentadienyl and cylcloheptatrienyl ligands in organometallic chemistry. It is also used as precursor for the preparation of (azulene)Mo2 (CO)6 and (azulene)Fe2 (CO)5.
