Chemical structure
Alizarin lake on amorphous alumina :
It is a chelate-type coordination compound, in which an Al(III) ion, at the
surface of amorphous alumina, forms a complex with one or two alizarin
molecules.

n
In special circumstances,
i.e. at Al/aliz ratio so low
that no alumina can be
formed from the excess
aluminium, Al-aliz
complexes can polymerize
into linear chains, and then
slowly form gels by cross-
linking of these chains
through - interactions
between the aromatic rings

Analyses in the past
The pink pigment from Corinthe was identified
W.T. Russell by comparison of the reflexion curves of the
sample with that of a rose madder lake. These
en 1892 curves were obtained using a Beckman
spectrophotometer and are historically the first
instrumental analysis of the colour of lakes.

Kermes lake was used in the red glaze and a madder lake in the pink
underpaint. In addition to the expected kermes dyestuff components,
ellagic acid was detected in the glaze suggesting extraction of the kermes
dydestuff from silk - ellagic acid is a component of oak galls (and a
breakdown product of many tannins).
