2,6-Dichlorobenzonitrile is a chemical compound that functions as a herbicide by inhibiting photosynthesis in plants. It disrupts the electron transport chain in photosystem II, leading to the production of reactive oxygen species and ultimately causing damage to the plant′s cellular membranes. This disruption of photosynthesis results in the depletion of energy reserves within the plant, leading to its eventual death. At the molecular level, 2,6-Dichlorobenzonitrile binds to the QB-binding niche of the D1 protein in photosystem II, preventing the transfer of electrons and ultimately disrupting the normal flow of energy. 2,6-Dichlorobenzonitrile′s mechanism of action involves targeting the photosynthesis of plants, making it an effective function for weed control in agricultural and experimental applications.
