Complex Formation Equilibria of Iron(III) With 2-Hydroxy-3- Pyridinol and 2-Mercapto-3-Pyridinol. Spectrophotometry Determination of Iron(III) In Multivitamins

ABSTRACT

The complex equilibria of iron(III) with 2-hydroxy-3-pyridinol (HHP), and 2-mercapto-3-pyridinol (MHP) were studied spectrophotometrically in 40% (v/v) ethanol and an ionic strength of 0.1M (NaCIO₄). The complexation reactions were demonstrated and characterized using graphical logarithmic analysis of the absorbance pH-graphs. After considering all the different parameters a simple, rapid, sensitive and selective method for spectrophotometric determination of trace levels of iron(III) was proposed based on the formation of (Fe -MHP) complex at pH 2.5 (λ_max = 640 nm, ? = l×10⁴ L mol^?1 cm^?). The interference of a large number of foreign ions was investigated. The method has been applied successfully for the determination of iron content in some multivitamins with mineral preparations and infant milk products.     

A New Simple and Sensitive Spectrophotometric Procedure for Determination of Adrenaline

Abstract

A new spectrophotometric procedure is described for the determination of ppm concentrations of adrenaline. The procedure is based on formation of Tris(O-phenanthroline)iron(II) complex (ferroin) upon reaction of adrenaline with an iron(III)-O-phenanthroline mixture in slightly acidic medium. The ferroin complex is then spectrophotometrically measured at 510 nm. In addition to being facile and rapid, the procedure is sufficiently selective and accurate, being particularly suitable for the assay of adrenaline in pharmaceutical formulations; the standard deviation didnot exceed 0.64%.

Abstract

A new spectrophotoraetric method has been developed for the analysis of pheniramine maleate and chlorphenlramine maleste, based on their reaction with iron (III). Pheniramine maleate and ch lor pheniramine maleate were found to form a 2:1 complex with iron (III) with an average log. stability constant of 12.26 and 12.36, respectively. The iron (III) complexes of both drugs showed maximum absorption at 273 nm, at pH 5, with slopes equal to 0.710 and 0.898 for pheniramine maleate complex and chlorpheniramine maleate complex, respectively. The proposed method was used for the determination of pheniramine maleate and chlorpheniramine maleate in quantities ranging between 0.25 × 10^?4 M to 2.5 × 10^?4 M with mean percentage recoveries of 100.17 ± 1.09% and 100.00 ± 1.13% for both drugs, respectively. The results obtained were compared with that of the B.P. (1980) method.     

Zero-Order and Third-Derivative Spectrophotometric Determination of Iron(III) with 4-(2-Pyridylazo)-Resorcinol in the Presence of N-Hexadecylpyridinium Chloride

Abstract

The complex formation reaction between iron(III) and 4-(2-pyridylazo) resorcinol(PAR) in the presence of various water soluble surfactants((N-hexadecylpyridinium chloride (HPC), poly(vinylalcohol)(PVA), sodium dodecylsulfate(SDS), sodium N-lauroylsarcosine(SL)) alone or in combination at weakly acidic media was systematically investigated. An improved and more sensitive spectrophotometric method for the determination of iron was proposed by zero-order and third-derivative spectrophotometry using the PAR-iron(III)-HPC ternary complex system at about pH 5.2. The calibration curve was rectilinear in the ranges of 0 – 15.0 μg iron(III) in a final 10-ml on the zero-order spectrophotometry. Also, upon the third-derivative spectrophotometry, Beer's law was obeyed in the range of 0 – 8.0 μg iron(III)/10 ml by measuring the distance between the absorbance peak(λ₁ = 527 nm) and the valley (λ₂ = 560 nm). The apparent molar absorptivity was 4.8 × 10⁴ 1 mol^?1 cm^?1 in zero-order spectrophotometry, and 1.36 × 10⁵ mol^?1 cm^?1 in third-derivative spectrophotometry. The effect of foreign ions was decreased within ½ – ¼-fold in comparison with the method in the presence of PVA without HPC. Especially, the third-derivative spectrophotometric method was sensitive and selective, and made possible to assay mixed sample solution containing iron(III) and copper(II), etc.     

Photochemical Titration of Imine Chelons

Abstract

A photochemical titration for determination of the analytically useful imine chelons 1,10-phenanthroline and 2,4,6-tripyridyl-s-triazine has been developed. The titrant, iron(II), is photolytically generated from iron(III)-citrate; citrate buffers the solution permitting rapid reaction of iron(II) with the chelons. A single mercury vapor arc serves as source for both photolysis and the photometric end point (546 nm); 1 to 40 micromoles of chelon can be titrated with RSDs less than 1%. 2–2′ bipyridine cannot be titrated by continuous photolysis due to a slow complex formation step.     

Vinyl Polymerization by Metal Complexes. XXIII. UV and Kinetic Studies on the Photopolymerization with Iron(III)-Amine-Carbon Tetrachloride Systems

Abstract

In order to elucidate the initiation reaction of the photopolymerization with iron(III)-amine-carbon tetrachloride systems, the photochemical reaction process among iron(III), amine, and carbon tetrachloride in methanol solution was followed at 0°C by UV spectroscopy as for iron(III) ion. The rate constants of both the reduction of iron (III) under irradiation with light and the oxidation of iron(II) in the dark were measured, and were related to the rates of photopolymerization of methyl methacrylate. Kinetic study on the photopolymerization of methyl methacrylate with iron(III)-triethylenetetramine-carbon tetrachloride system was made in parallel in methanol solution at 0°C. The initiation mechanism of the photopolymerization was postulated.     

Complexation of Indole-3-acetic Acid with Iron(III): Influence of Coordination on the π-Electronic System of the Ligand

Summary.  The iron(III) complex of indole-3-acetic acid (1) was prepared, and its physicochemical properties, mode of iron(III) coordination, and electronic structure were studied using UV/Vis, diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT), and transmission ⁵⁷Fe M?ssbauer spectroscopic techniques. The data obtained provide evidence that iron(III) is not only coordinated by the carboxylic O-donor atom, but also via the conjugated π-electronic system of the pyrrole moiety involving both the non-shared electronic pair of the heteroatom and the C(2)*C(3) double bond. Considering the well-known increased sensitivity of the pyrrole residue in indole derivatives to oxidation as compared to the benzene ring, as well as the formation of a triple complex (peroxidase-1-O₂) proposed for the enzymatic 1 oxidative degradation mechanism involving as a key step the Fe³⁺ → Fe²⁺ transition in the enzyme form as discussed in literature, it is concluded that iron(III) coordination with 1 can influence the redox properties of the pyrrole ring by affecting its π-electronic system.

In vitro study on the competitive reactions between arsenite and selenite with glutathione

Exposure to arsenic can cause various biological effects by increasing the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Selenium acts as a beneficial element by regulating ROS and limiting heavy metal uptake and translocation. There are studies on the interactive effects of As and Se in plants, but the antagonistic and synergistic effects of these elements based on their binding to glutathione (GSH) molecules have not been studied yet. In this study, we aimed to investigate the antagonistic or synergistic effects of As and Se on the binding mechanism of Se and As with GSH at pH 3.0, 5.0, or 6.5. The interaction of As and Se in Se(SG)₂ + As(III) or As(SG)₃ + Se(IV) binary systems and As(III) + Se(IV) + GSH ternary system were examined depending on their ratios via liquid chromatography diode array detector/electrospray mass spectrometry (LC-DAD/MS) and liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS). The results showed that the formation of As(GS)₃ was not detected in the As(III) + Se(SG)₂ binary system, indicating that As(III) did not affect the stability of Se(SG)₂ complex antagonistically. However, in the Se(IV) + As(SG)₃ binary system, the addition of Se(IV) to As(SG)₃ affected the stability of As(SG)₃ antagonistically. Se(IV) reacted with GSH, disrupting the As(SG)₃ complex, and consequently, Se(SG)₂ formation was measured using LC-MS/DAD. In the Se(IV) + GSH + As(III) ternary system, Se(SG)₂ formation was detected upon mixing As(III), Se(IV), and GSH. The increase in the concentration of As(III) did not influence the stability of the Se(SG)₂ complex. Additionally, Se(IV) has a higher affinity than As(III) to the GSH, regardless of the pH of the solution. In both binary and ternary systems, the formation of the by-product glutathione trisulfide (GSSSG) was detected using LC-ESI-MS/MS.     

A simple flow injection spectrophotometric determination method for iron(III) based on O-acetylsalicylhydroxamic acid complexation

A simple and rapid flow-injection spectrophotometric method for the determination of iron(III) and total iron is proposed. The method is based on the reaction between iron(III) and O-acetylsalicylhydroxamic acid (AcSHA) in a 2 % methanol solution resulting in an intense violet complex with strong absorption at 475 nm. Optimum conditions for the determination of iron(III) and the interfering ions were tested. The relative standard deviation for the determination of 5 μg L⁻¹ iron(III) was 0.85 % (n = 10), and the limit of detection (blank signal plus three times the standard deviation of the blank) was 0.5 μg L⁻¹, both based on the injection volumes of 20 μL. The method was successfully applied in the determination of iron(III) and total iron in water and ore samples. The method was verified by analysing a certified reference material Zn/Al/Cu 43XZ3F and also by the AAS method.

3,4-Dihydroxybenzoic Acid As A Reagent for the Spectrophotometric Determination of Titanium

Abstract

The reaction between titanium(IV) and 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid in aqueous media results in an intensely colored complex which is stable for at least 8h. It allows the spectrophotometric determination of titanium in silicate rocks. The proposed method, in pH 4.0–6.0, shows a molar absorptivity of 1.43.10⁴ L.mole^?1.cm^?1 at 380 nm. Beer's Law is obeyed up to 3.0 μg/mL of titanium(IV). The interference of iron(III) can be eliminated by reduction to iron(II) with hydroxylamine hydrochloride. The method was applied to the determination of titanium in various standard rocks and the results indicated that the accuracy and precision are satisfatory.     

The use of Chromazurol S in the presence of a mixture of cationic and non-ionic surfactants for the spectrophotometric determination of iron in cereals

Simple and sensitive methods for the spectrophotometric determination of iron(III) in food, based on the formation of coloured complexes of Fe(III) with Chromazurol S (CAS) in the presence of tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTA) or octadecyltrimethylammonium chloride (ODTA) and Triton X-100 (TX100), have been developed. Optimum pH and the concentrations of CAS, TTA, ODTA, and TX100 ensuring maximum absorbance have been determined. For the Fe-CAS-TTA-TX100 system the molar absorptivity is 1.12 × 10⁵ L/(mol cm) at 650 nm; for Fe-CAS-ODTA-TX100 it is 1.35 × 10⁵ L/(mol cm) at 659.5 nm. Beer’s law was obeyed for iron concentration in the range 0.08–0.56 μg/mL for the complex Fe-CAS-TTA-TX100 and 0.08–0.64 μg/mL for Fe-CAS-ODTA-TX100. The influence of several interfering ions has been discussed. The stoichiometry of the complexes was established by applying Job’s method. The more sensitive method, based on the Fe-CAS-ODTA-TX100 system, has been applied to the determination of iron in cereals. To evaluate the accuracy of the elaborated method, the determined content of Fe was compared to the declared value as well as to the result obtained by the reference ICP-OES method.

Trace Analysis of Iron in Environmental Water and Snow Samples from Poland

Abstract

A voltammetric method for the determination of iron at detection limit of 4 μg/l is described, using the catalytic current of the reduction of the Fe(III)-triethanolamine (TEA) complex in the presence of bromate ions. the determination was performed at a mercury hanging drop electrode without preconcentration, using the TEA alkaline solution as a supporting electrolyte and the differential pulse technique. A peak current for the Fe(III)-TEA catalytic reduction was observed at a potential of-1.0 V (Ag/AgCl saturated electrode). the influence of TEA, BrO³ and NaOH concentrations on the peak height was studied. It was found that a 100-fold excess of Mn, a 50-fold excess of Cr(VI) and Zn did not interfere in the determination. This method was applied to the determination of iron in water, snow and waste water samples.     

Mechanistic studies on the reaction between glutathionylcobalamin and selenocysteine

Abstract

The reaction between glutathionylcobalamin (GSCbl), a complex of Co(III)-cobalamin with glutathione, and selenocysteine (Sec) was investigated using ultraviolet-visible (UV–vis) spectroscopy. The interaction results in the formation of cob(II)alamin and proceeds via two pathways: (i) a rapid formation of complex between GSCbl and Sec followed by the rate-determining substitution of glutathionyl-ligand by Sec and rapid electron-transfer from Se-atom to Co(III)-ion and (ii) a nucleophilic attack of Co(III)-S bond by Sec.
