Abstract: | Squaric acid (1,2-dihydroxy-3,4-diketo-cyclobutene) is used in a specific reaction with Fe(III) for the spectrophotometric
determination of Fe(III) and total iron content. The optimization of the experimental parameters leads to the establishment
of a simple, fast and accurate analytical method. The analytical procedure includes mixing ammonium squarate (40 mM), prepared
in a phthalate buffer solution of pH 2.7, with the sample and measuring the absorbance at 515 nm. The molar absorptivity of
the colored product is 3.95×103 L·mol−1·cm−1, at 515 nm. Calibration graphs for Fe(III) are rectilinear for 0.5–20 mgL−1, with a detection limit of 0.3 mgL−1 and r.s.d. not exceeding 2.5%, for five replicates of a 3.0 mgL−1 standard solution. The method has been successfully applied to the determination of iron (III) and the total iron content
after quantitative oxidation of iron (II). The results for several analyzed samples when compared with those acquired by using
the FAAS technique, were found to be in satisfactory agreement.
