The complexation of iron(III) with norfloxacin in acidic solution at 25 degrees C, at an ionic strength of about 0.3 M and a pH of 3.0 has been studied. The water-soluble complex formed, which exhibits an absorption maximum at 377 nm, was used for the spectrophotometric determination of trace amounts of iron(III). The molar absorptivity was 9.05 x 10(3) I mol-1 cm-1 and the Sandell sensitivity 6.2 ng cm-2 of iron(III) per 0.001 A. The formation constant (Kf) was determined spectrophotometrically and was found to be 4.0 x 10(8) at 25 degrees C. The calibration graph was rectilinear over the range 0.25-12.0 p.p.m. of iron(III) and the regression line equation was A = 0.163c - 0.00042 with a correlation coefficient of 0.9998 (n = 9).

A solvent extraction-spectrophotometric determination of microamounts of iron has been developed, based on the formation of an ion-association complex of iron(II) with 2,4,6-tris(2'-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine as primary ligand and picrate as counter-ion, which is extracted into 1,2-dichloroethane. The complex is formed at pH 4.0-7.0 and the iron concentration can be determined by measuring the absorbance directly in the organic phase. The apparent molar absorptivity is 2.2 x 10(5) l.mole(-1).cm(-1). As the method is practically free from interferences it was applied to the determination of iron in different biological and inorganic samples. Although the proposed method is very sensitive it can be further sensitized by employing the derivative spectrophotometric technique.     

Spectrophotometric determination of trace amounts of lead(II) by ion-pair extraction with cryptand (2.2.2) and eosin

The solvent extraction of ion-pair complexes of calcium, strontium and lead (2.2.2) cryptates is described. The extraction equilibrium constants (D_C, K_ex and K_D) at room temperature are reported. The formation of the positively-charged lead cryptate ion and its extraction into chlorobenzene as an ion-pair with eosin are the basis of the proposed spectrophotometric determination of traces of lead. The high molar absorptivity of the ion-pair complex (? = 1.1 × 10⁵ l mol^-1 cm^-1) and the linearity of the calibration graph over the range 0–10^-5 M, allow even 0.1 ppm lead to be determined. The selectivity is high; there is no interference from cations often occurring with lead, such as Bi³⁺, Sn²⁺, Hg²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Cu²⁺, Ca²⁺, Pd²⁺, Ag⁺ and Tl⁺.

Spectrophotometric determination of trace amounts of aniline by diazotization coupling with N-(1-naphthyl)ethylenediamine and extraction

A spectrophotometric procedure is proposed for the determination of trace amounts of aniline by diazotization, coupling with N-(1-naphthyl)ethylenediamine in sodium acetate medium, extraction of the yellow dye with chloroform, and conversion into a reddish purple dye.

In the other, the chloroform extract is evaporated to dryness and the residue is dissolved in glacial acetic acid. The hydrochloric acid extraction method is the more rapid. The minimum detection limits for the two methods are 0.8 and 0.6 mug/ml respectively. Both methods show satisfactory accuracy and precision.

Spectrophotometric determination of iron(III) and total iron by sequential injection analysis technique

A procedure for determination of concentrations of iron(III) and total iron by sequential injection analysis is described. The method is based on the strong blue-colored complexes formed between iron(III) and tiron. The absorbance of the complexes is measured spectrophotometrically at 635 nm. Oxidation of iron(II) and masking of interfering fluoride is simultaneously done by injecting one zone of hydrogen peroxide and one of thorium(IV) between the sample and reagent zones.
