Chemiluminescence (CL) of an acidic KMnO₄ system in the presence of Tween 80 was investigated for the determination of sulpiride. Strong CL was recorded when a mixture of sulpiride and Tween 80 was injected into acidic KMnO₄ solution.

The detection limit is 1.6 × 10⁻⁷ g mL⁻¹ sulpiride, and the relative standard deviation for 1.0 × 10⁻⁶ g mL⁻¹ sulpiride solution is 1.5% (n = 11). The proposed method has been successfully applied to the determination of sulpiride in tablets and in spiked human plasma and urine samples.

The Eu(III)-CPLx and fluorescent (Eu(III)-CPLx/D-Dex) composites were characterized by numerous techniques. The fluorescent (Eu(III)-CPLx/D-Dex) composite demonstrated a strong red emission and controlled fluorescence quenching in the solid state and was consequently used in latent fingerprint (LFP) detection. The LFPs were developed by using a powder dusting method (PDM) with Eu(III)-CPLx and fluorescent Eu(III)-CPLx/D-Dex composites on different substrates under daylight and UV-light irradiation at 365 nm. The fluorescent Eu(III)-CPLx/D-Dex composite was effectively explored for developing LFP images on various substrates and also acts as a better labeling agent for LFP detection in forensic science crime scene investigations.

Energy transfer between 1,3-dimethylxanthine and europium(III) in aqueous solution

Luminescence of 1,3-dimethylxanthine in solution is impaired owing to collisional deactivation by solvent molecules and matrix interferences. Energy absorbed by 1,3-dimethylxanthine has been transferred to trivalent europium which emits narrow-band radiation in a region distant from background interferences.

Electroanalytical Determination of Opipramol in Pharmaceutical Preparations and Biological Fluids

Abstract

The electrooxidative behavior and determination of opipramol, a tricyclic compound for therapy of anxious-depressive states and general anxiety disorder, were investigated at a glassy carbon electrode using cyclic, linear sweep, differential pulse and Osteryoung square wave voltammetric techniques. The oxidation of opipramol was irreversible and exhibited a diffusion controlled process dependent on pH using a glassy carbon electrode. The oxidation mechanism on a glassy carbon electrode is proposed and discussed. The anodic process can be attributed to the oxidation of azepine and piperazine rings. Different parameters were tested to optimize the conditions for the determination of opipramol. The dependence of current intensities and potentials on pH, concentration, scan rate, and nature of the buffer was investigated as detailed. Opipramol in pH 3.7 acetate buffer presents a well-defined anodic response at + 0.86 V according to studies of the proposed method. The determination of opipramol was in pH 3.7 acetate buffer, which allowed quantitation over the 2 × 10^?6 to 2 × 10^?4 M range in the supporting electrolyte, 2 × 10^?6 to 6 × 10^?5 M range in the spiked serum sample, and 2 × 10^?6 to 1 × 10^?4 M range in the urine sample, for both techniques. The proposed method was applied to commercial drageés and average percente recovery was in agreement with that obtained by spectrophotometric comparison methods. The method was extended to the in vitro determination of opipramol in spiked human serum and urine.     

Dissociation Kinetics of an Ethylene-Dinitrilo-N,N'-Diacetato-N,N'-DI-3-Propionato Complex of Europium(III)

Abstract

The kinetics of dissociation of EuENDPDA was studied by a stopped-flow technique with a Cu²⁺ scavenger. The dissociation data indicated that EuENDPDA follows a similar dissociative mechanism as EuEDTA and other Eu-aminopolycarboxylate complexes. Both acid-dependent and acid-independent paths are present with a 100-fold increase in the acid catalyzed rate compared to that of EuEDTA. These results are discussed in terms of the relative stability of 5- and 6-membered chelate rings in the complexes.

Determination of bisphenol A based on chemiluminescence from gold(III)-peroxymonocarbonate

Peroxymonocarbonate (HCO₄⁻) was produced by the online reaction of bicarbonate with hydrogen peroxide. A strong chemiluminescence (CL) was observed when HCO₄⁻ reacted with AuCl₄⁻ without any special CL reagent. When bisphenol A (BPA) was added to AuCl₄⁻-HCO₄⁻ CL system, the CL emission was inhibited significantly. This new CL system was developed as a flow-injection method for the determination of BPA. Under the optimum experimental conditions, the inhibited CL intensity was linearly related to the concentration of BPA from 0.3 to 80 μM (R = 0.9958). The detection limit of BPA was 0.08 μM. The relative standard deviation for 12 repeated measurements of 1.0 μM BPA was 2.9%. The interferences of some cationic ions can be removed by an online cation-exchange column. The applicability of the present CL system was demonstrated for the sensitive and selective determination of BPA in real samples (mineral water bottle, baby bottle, beverage bottle and polycarbonate container). Based on the CL spectrum, UV-visible adsorption spectra, and the quenching effect of reactive oxygen species scavengers, a possible CL mechanism was proposed.

Determination of Total Chromium in Biological Samples by Automated Reagent Injection Chemiluminescence Analysis

A sensitive method for the determination of total chromium in real samples by flow injection–chemiluminescence (FI–CL) analysis was proposed. It was found that the CL intensity from luminol–lysozyme reaction could be markedly quenched, and the decrease of CL intensity was linear with the logarithm of Cr(III) concentrations over the range of 5.0 to 4000 pg mL^?1 with a detection limit of 2.0 pg mL^?1 (3σ) and relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 3.0, 2.6, and 2.0% for 10, 100, and 1000 pg mL^?1 Cr(III) (n = 7), respectively. At a flow rate of 2.0 mL min^?1, the whole process including sampling and washing could be accomplished within 36 s. The proposed CL method was successfully applied to the determination of total chromium in pharmaceutical capsules, a dietary supplement, and spiked human serum samples, with recoveries from 92.2 to 108.4% and RSDs of less than 4.0%. Using the homemade FI–CL model, the binding constant (K = 4.38 × 10⁶ L mol^?1) and the binding sites (n ≈ 1) of Cr(III) to lysozyme were given.
