Spectrophotometric Determination of Lead with 2-(5-Bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol and Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide

Abstract

A new spectrophotometric method was employed for the determination of lead (II) based on the ternary complex formation with 2-(5-Bromo-2-Pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol(5-BrPADAP) and cetyltri-methyl-ammonium bromide (CTAB). At pH 7.00 a violet ternary complex, whose molar absorptivity is 5.1×10⁴ 1.mole^?1 cm^?1 at 575 nm, is formed. Beer's law range (0.5 ? 4.9 μg ml^?1 of lead), the apparent stability constant (log β=9.90) and δG° were evaluated. A large number of ions do not interfer at pH 7.00 because they form complexes with 5-Br-PADAP at higher pH's (< 9.40) or at lower pH's (> 4.86). The method offers the advantages of simplicity and requires no extraction.     

Simple and sensitive spectrophotometric methods for determination of amantadine hydrochloride

Three simple and sensitive spectrophotometric methods (A–C) for determination of amantadine hydro-chloride have been developed and validated. The first method (A) is based on the oxidation of the drug by ammonium molybdate. The second method (B) was based on the charge-transfer complexation reaction between the amantadine base as an electron donor and iodine as a σ-acceptor. The third method (C) is based on the reaction of N-alkylvinylamine formed from the interaction of the free amino group in amantadine molecule and acetalde-hyde with chloranil to give colored vinylamino-substituted benzoquinone. The colored products of these reactions were measured at their corresponding maximum absorption peaks. Different variables affecting the reactions were carefully studied and optimized. Under the optimum conditions, linear relationships with good correlation coefficients 0.9993–0.9998 were found between the reading and the corresponding concentration of the drug in the range 2–90 μg·ml⁻¹. The limits of detection ranged from 0.16 to 1.91 μg·ml⁻¹. The precision of the methods was satisfactory: the values of relative standard deviation did not exceed 1.63%. The proposed methods were successfully applied to the analysis of amantadine HCl in its capsules with good accuracy and precision; the label claim percentages ranged from 99.8 to 100.5 ± (0.52–1.22) %. The results obtained by the proposed spectrophotometric methods were comparable with those obtained by the official method.

Abstract

A spectrophotometric method for the determination of titanium(IV) is described. It is based on the extraction of titanium(IV) as an ion‐associated complex, formed between the titanium(IV)–thiocyanate anion and the cetyltrimethylammonium (CTMA), cetylpyridinium (CP), or tetradecyldimethylbenzylammonium (TDMA) cation in chloroform or dichloromethane. Optimum conditions for the extraction and spectrophotometric determination of titanium(IV) by all extractants were determined. The effect of chloride ions on the extraction was also examined.

A New Spectrophotometric Method with Di-2-Pyridyl Ketone Benzoylhydrazone for Determination of Nickel(II)

Abstract

Nitrogen-containing heterocyclic hydrazones have been used as analytical reagents, mainly to metallic ion spectrophotometric determinations in natural water samples. Using the reagent di-2-pyridil ketone benzoilhydrazone (DPKBH) we have developed a spectrophotometric method for the determination of Ni(II) in samples of several sources. DPKBH was used in excess in order to coordinate Ni(II) and the highest sensitivity was obtained in 50% v/v ethanol solutions when ammonium acetate buffer was added to maintain pH?6.

Analysis for Ni(II) in natural water is frequently performed by EAAS following preconcentration involving solvent extraction. While these methods are sensitive, they also require relatively expensive instrumentation and are generally time-consuming. In contrast, the advantages of the proposed method are the use of simple instrumentation and the possibility of its application in the field. The method is fast, shows high sensitivity, good precision and several samples can be prepared and measured until 10 hours later .

The best order for the addition of reagents, stability of the complex, effect of the reagents excess and foreign ions besides composition of the complex are here reported. A linear behavior was observed between absorbance and nickel concentration. The favorable range is 8.50×10^?7 to 1.72×10^?5 mol.L^?1. The correlation coefficient is 0.997. The intercept of the linear curve is 3.55×10^?3 and the slope is 4.00×10⁴cm^?1.moI^?1.L. The standard error of the intercept and slope is 3.73×10^?3 and 4.48×10^?4, respectively.

Colorimetric and Spectrofluorimetric Methods for the Determination of Melatonin in Tablets and Serum

Abstract

Two sensitive and accurate colorimetric and spectrofluonmetric methods, are presented for the determination of melatonin in tablets and serum. The first method utilizes the reactions of p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde in hydrochloric acid (van Urk reagent)-ferric chloride in sulphuric acid (Salkowski reagent) mixture. The blue color of the resulting reaction product is measured at 630 nm. The second method is based on the reaction of melatonin with o-phthalaldehyde in acid medium which yields highly fluorescent condensation product that is measured at 465 nm as emission wavelength, using excitation wavelength at 355 nm. No interference was observed from tableting additives, and the applicability of the methods was examined by analysing tablets containing melatonin (single and combined with pyridoxine). Mean percentage recoveries from tablets were found to be 99.9+0.31 for single and 100.5+0.15 for combined tablets using colorimetric method, while by applying spectrofluorimetric method the recoveries were found to be 100.610.41 for single and 100.2+0.39 for combined tablets. Furthermore, the proposed methods were extended to the in-vitro determination of melatonin in serum. The detection limits are 0.27 ug ml^?1 for colorimetric method and 0.00035 ug ml^?1 for spectrofluorimetric method.

Pressure dependence of the electron density in solid iodine by the maximum-entropy method

Abstract

A direct observation of the electron density of solid iodine has been attempted in order to study the electron-density delocalization process due to pressure-induced metallization. A high-accuracy x-ray powder diffraction measurement was carried out with a diamond anvil cell and an imaging plate on a synchrotron-radiation source. The maximum entropy method was employed to analyze the data and to obtain electron-density maps under pressures up to 20 GPa. The electron density between adjacent iodine molecules has been shown to gradually increase with increasing pressure; also, a two-dimensional network is formed at a density level of 0.2 e/ų at around 16 GPa.     

Comparative Study of the Ratio Spectra Derivative Spectrophotometry,Derivative Spectrophotometry and Vierordt's Method Appued to the Analysis of Lisinopril and Hydrochlorothiazide in Tablets

Abstract

Three new spectrophotometric methods are described for the determination of lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide in their binary mixturer: First derivative spectrophotometry ratio spectra derivative and Vierordt's method. The procedures do not require any prior separation. In the derivative spectrophotometry, the dA/dλ values in the first derivative spectra of the mixture were measured at 269.6 nm for lisinopril and at 279.8 nm for hydrochlorothiazide. The calibration graphs were linear in the range 25.56–129.50 μg.ml^?1 for lisinopril and 10.60–139.80 μg.ml^?1 for hydrochlorothiazide. In ratio spectra derivative spectrophotometry, the calibration graphs for 15.68–129.50 μg.ml^?1 lisinopril and for 5.98–139.80 μg.ml^?1 hydrochlorothiazide were obtained by measuring the signals at 253.7 nm and 243.6 nm for lisinopril and at 280.1 nm and 270.8 nm for hydrochlorothiazide. In Vierordt's method, A¹ ₁ (1 %, 1 cm) values of lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide were determined at 259.8 nm and 272.7 nm in the zero-order spectra. The quantity of both compounds were calculated by using the A¹ ₁ (1 %, 1cm) values. The methods were successfully applied to a pharmaceutical formulation for determination of both active compounds.     

Study on fluorescence properties of carbogenic nanoparticles and their application for the determination of ferrous succinate

A new type of fluorescent nanomaterial named carbogenic nanoparticles (NPs) has drawn considerable attention recently. In this study, we adopted a direct and simple synthetic method to produce the carbogenic NPs and investigated the fluorescence properties of the as-prepared carbogenic NPs in detail. It was found that the fluorescence of carbogenic NPs was stable with the variance of environmental conditions such as pH, temperature and UV irradiation. More interestingly, we found carbogenic NPs exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity towards ferric ions. Under optimum conditions, a good linear relationship could be obtained between the fluorescence intensity and concentration of ferric ions in the range of 5.0×10⁻⁵-5.0×10⁻⁴ mol L⁻¹, and the limit of detection is 11.2 μmol L⁻¹. Based on the fluorescence quenching of carbogenic NPs, a rapid and specific quantitative method was proposed for the determination of ferrous succinate. The content of ferrous succinate in commercial tablets determined by the present method was agreed with the spectrophotometric method results and the reproducibility and the recovery of the proposed method were satisfactory.
