thumb|220px|class=skin-invert-image|Paraquat is a prominent viologen. Viologens are a family of organic compounds with the formula (C5H4NR)2n+(X-)2. They are N-alkyl derivatives of bipyridines. In some viologens, the pyridyl groups are further modified.
The viologen paraquat (R = methyl), is a widely used herbicide. As early as in the 1930s, paraquat was being used as an oxidation-reduction indicator, because it becomes violet on reduction.
