BVD can be reduced to its neutral state by using sodium borohydride which forms an n-type dopant for organic semiconductor based applications.It may be introduced to form a path for the transport of electrons from the thylakoid membranes to the mediator which can be used in the fabrication of photo-driven bioanode.

For R&D use onlynot for drug household or other uses.

Benzyl viologen dichloride (BVD) is an electrochromic indicator which contains two chlorine atoms and an organic constituent attached with two nitrogen cations. In a redox reaction BVD can be reduced in three states with different colors.
