Micellar effect on the sensitivity of spectrophotometric Mo(VI) determination based on the formation of gallic acid complex providing evidence for the polyoxoanion structure of molybdate ions

In this study effects of anionic (sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS), cationic (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, CTAB) and nonionic (Triton X-100, TX100) micelles on the sensitivity of spectrophotometric molybdenum(VI) (Mo) determination based on the formation of a binary complex with gallic acid (GA) were investigated.

Micellar CTAB was found to enhance the formation of Mo–GA complex. SDS micelles exerted an inhibitory effect while TX100 micelles had no effect on the complex formation. By the optimization of experimental conditions, the determination limit of the method suggested in the literature was lowered from 5.2 × 10⁻⁵ to 4.6 × 10⁻⁶ and to 5.7 × 10⁻⁷ M, in the absence and presence of CTAB, respectively.

The mechanism of the effect of CTAB was investigated by spectrophotometric titrations and it was concluded that CTAB did not form a ternary complex with Mo and GA. The stoichiometry of the complex, deduced from the results of spectrophotometric titrations, provided evidence for the formation of para-Mo₇O₄⁶⁻ polyanions at pH 4.5, indicating to the formation of a charge transfer complex between these ions and GA in micellar medium.     

Spectrophotometric determination of maneb by ternary complex formation with PAR and CTAB

A rapid, simple, direct, and sensitive method has been developed for the determination of maneb (manganese ethylenebisdithiocarbamate) based on the formation of manganese-4-(2′-pyridylazo) resorcinol complex by a ligand displacement reaction, which is rendered water soluble by a cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) by the formation of an ion association complex. Beer's law is obeyed over the concentration range 0.08–2.4 μg/ml of the final solution at 500 nm in pH range 8–12. The molar absorptivity and Sandell's sensitivity are calculated to be 8.84 × 10⁴ l.mol⁻¹.cm⁻¹ and 0.003 μg/cm², respectively. The developed method has been applied to the determination of maneb in commercial formulations, synthetic mixture, grain samples and vegetables.     

Submicellar catalytic effect of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide in the oxidation of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid by MnO4-

The effects of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), sodiumdodecyl sulphate (SDS) and Triton X-100 (TX-100) on the oxidative degradation of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) by MnO₄⁻ have been studied spectrophotometrically at 525 and 420 nm, respectively. It was found that cationic surfactant catalyse the reaction rate while anionic and non-ionic have no effect. The premicellar environment of CTAB strongly catalyses the reaction rate which may be due to the favorable electrostatic binding of both reactants (MnO₄⁻ and EDTA) with the positive head groups of the CTAB aggregates. The influence of different parameters such as [MnO₄⁻], [EDTA], [H⁺] and [surfactants] were also considered. The reaction follows the first- and fractional-order kinetics with respect to [MnO₄⁻] and [EDTA]. The proposed mechanism and the derived rate law are consistent with the observed kinetics.     

A new method for the voltammetric determination of molybdenum(VI) using carbon paste electrodes modified in situ with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide

Molybdenum(VI) is determined by anodic stripping voltammetry using a carbon paste electrode modified in situ with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The preconcentration of molybdenum is performed by adsorption and reduction of ion-pairs of cetyltrimethylammonium and molybdenum(VI) oxalate at a potential of −0.4 V vs. the saturated calomel electrode (SCE). The supporting electrolyte contains 0.01 M oxalic acid and 0.075 mM CTAB. Differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry exploiting the reoxidation signal is used for the determination of trace levels of molybdenum(VI). Linearity between current and concentration exists for a range of 0.5–500 μg 1⁻¹ Mo with proper preconcentration times; the limit of detection (calculated as 3σ) is 0.04 μg 1⁻¹ with an accumulation period of 10 min.     

Spectrophotometric determination of molybdenum in steels with o-nitrophenylfluorone and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide

A method has been developed for determining microamounts of molybdenum(VI) in aqueous solution by means of the Mo-o-nitrophenylfluorone—cetyltrimethylammonium bromide system, in which micellar solubilization is applied. A red complex is formed in 0.2–0.6M hydrochloric acid medium. The sensitivity of the method is high, and the apparent molar absorptivity is 1.55 × 10⁵ l.mole⁻¹. cm⁻¹. The absorption peak of the complex appears at 530 nm. The colour of the complex develops quickly and is stable for more than 24 hr. The composition of the complex is Mo: o-NPF = 1:1, and the system obeys Beer's law in the range 0–10 μg of Mo per 25 ml. The method has been used for the rapid determination of molybdenum in alloy steels with satisfactory results.     

Spectral studies on the interaction of Amido black 10B with DNA in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide

The interaction of Amido black 10B (AB) with DNA in basic medium was studied in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTMAB) based on the measurements of resonance light scattering (RLS), UV–vis, CD spectra, and RLS imaging. The interaction has been proved to give a ternary complex of CTMAB–DNA–AB in Britton–Robinson buffer of pH 11.55, which exhibits strong negative Cotton effect at 233.3 nm and 642.8 nm, and strong RLS signals characterized at 469 nm. Experiments showed that the enhanced RLS intensities (ΔI_RLS) against the mixture of AB and CTMAB are proportional to the concentration of fish sperm DNA (fsDNA) and calf thymus DNA (ctDNA), respectively over the range of 0.03–1.0 and 0.05–1.5 μg ml⁻¹, with the limits of determination (3σ) of 7.3 ng ml⁻¹ for fsDNA and 7.0 ng ml⁻¹ for ctDNA.     

Sensitive spectrophotometric determination of molybdenum(VI) with Pyrogallol Red and cetyltrimethylammonium ions

Pyrogallol red in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide is proposed for the spectrophotometric determination of microgram amounts of molybdenum. The sensitivity of the color reaction between molybdenum and Pyrogallol Red has been greatly increased by the sensitizing action of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (?_{600 nm} = 90,000). Beer's law is obeyed over the range 0.1–0.4 μg/ml of molybdenum. The composition of the complex may therefore be formulated as Mo:PR:CTA = 1:2:4.     

Micellar effects on photoinduced redox reactions of Fe(bpy)2(CN)2

Excitation of solutions of Fe(bipy)₂(CN)₂ by a 266-nm laser pulse produces a hydrated electron and the oxidized complex, Fe(bipy)₂ (CN)₂⁺, in the primary photochemical step, in homogeneous aqueous solution as well as in aqueous solutions containing cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) or sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelles. In all cases nascent hydrated electrons react with ground state Fe(bipy)₂(CN)₂ to form Fe(bipy)₂(CN)₂⁻, and comparison of the decay constants in the three media (H₂O: k = 2.8 × 10¹⁰ M⁻¹ s⁻¹; CTAB: k = 2.9 × 10¹⁰ M⁻¹ s⁻¹; SDS: k = 5.5 × 10⁹ M⁻¹ s⁻¹), shows that the reaction is essentially unaffected by CTAB micelles but is much slower in SDS solution. Similar micellar effects were found for the back reaction between e_aq⁻ and Fe(bpy)₂(CN)₂⁺. Rate constants for the scavenging of the photogenerated hydrated electrons by methyl viologen (MV²⁺) cations and NO₃⁻ anions were measured in the three systems, and the results indicate that for scavenging by MV²⁺ the rate constants are decreased in the micelle systems (k in H₂O, 8.4 × 10¹⁰; CTAB, 3.5 × 10¹⁰ and SDS, 1.58 × 10¹⁰ M⁻¹ s⁻¹), whereas for NO₃⁻ the CTAB micelle decreases while the SDS micelle enhances the scavenging compared to water solution (k in H₂O, 8.3 × 10⁹; CTAB, 7 × 10⁸; and SDS, 2.05 × 10¹⁰ M⁻¹ s⁻¹). For the comproportionation reaction between Fe(bipy)₂(CN)₂⁺ and Fe(bipy)₂(CN)₂⁻ both micelles reduce the rate (k in H₂O, 3.3 × 10¹⁰; CTAB, 2.3 × 10¹⁰; and SDS, 1.05 × 10¹⁰ M⁻¹s⁻¹), but while the reaction of Fe(bipy)₂(CN)₂⁺ with MV⁺ is increased in CTAB compared to water, it is slowed in SDS (k in H₂O, 2.4 × 10¹⁰; CTAB, 8.9 × 10¹⁰; and SDS, 1.8 × 10¹⁰ M⁻¹s⁻¹). All effects observed in these microheterogeneous systems can be uniformly interpreted in terms of Coulombic interactions between the actual reactants and the charged surface of the micelles.     

Micellar-catalyzed alkaline hydrolysis of 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene in a cationic gemini surfactant

Micellar-catalyzed alkaline hydrolysis of 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) in the presence of a conventional cationic surfactant CTAB or a cationic gemini surfactant 1,2-ethane bis(dimethyldodecylammonium bromide) (12-2-12) were studied spectrophotometrically at 25 °C. It was found that both CTAB and 12-2-12 micelles accelerated the alkaline hydrolysis of DNCB, and the binding constant of the substrate to the micelle, K_S, for 12-2-12 (K_S = 310 M⁻¹) was larger than that for CTAB (85 M⁻¹), which suggested that DNCB molecules bound with gemini micelles more easily than with CTAB. However, the second-order rate constant in micellar pseudophase (k_M = 1.22 × 10⁻³ s⁻¹) for 12-2-12 was lower than k_M for CTAB (4.01 × 10⁻³ s⁻¹) because the substrate may enter the interior of the 12-2-12 micelles. It was found also that 12-2-12 had a similar catalysis mechanism to CTAB when the concentration of 12-2-12 was relatively low (ca. <5 mM). However, above this concentration, higher microviscosity and significant increases in aggregation number and micelle size with increased surfactant concentration may remarkably influence the hydrolysis reaction.

Analytical applications of ternary complexes-VIII An improved reagent system for the spectrophotometric determination of aluminium

Aluminium ions form a ternary complex with Catechol Violet (CV) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) in which an Al(3)+:CV:CTAB ratio of 1:2:5 is observed. The sensitivity of the binary complex between aluminium and Catechol Violet (615nm) = 1.50 x 10(3) l. mole (-1). mm(-1) is enhanced on ternary complex formation to (670nm) = 5.30 x 10(3) l. mole(-1). mm(-1). The colour is formed instantaneously, stabilizes within 20 min, and may be used for the detection of aluminium in the range O.27-54 pm in the presence of EDTA which prevents the interference of most ions. A benzoate extraction procedure for aluminium is used to prevent interference from hundredfold amounts of Cr(VI), Fe(II), Fe(III), Hg(II), Sb(III), Ti(IV) and acetate, but Be, Cr(III), rare earths, V(V), Zr and tartrate must be absent, as must high concentrations of phosphate and fluoride ions.

Simple, rapid and sensitive spectrofluorimetric determination of diflunisal in serum and urine based on its ternary complex with terbium and EDTA

A very simple, rapid and highly sensitive fluorimetric method for the determination of diflunisal in serum and urine is described. The method is based on the formation of a ternary complex between diflunisal, Tb³⁺ and EDTA in alkaline aqueous solutions. This complex exhibits very intense terbium ion luminescence with a main emission maximum at 546 nm when excited at 284 nm. Optimum conditions for the complex formation have been investigated. The detection limit for diflunisal is 2.4 μg 1⁻¹, while the range of application is 0.01–6.00 mg 1⁻¹. The method has been successfully applied for the determination of diflunisal in untreated human serum and urine samples. Analytical recoveries from serum and urine samples spiked with diflunisal were in the ranges of 96.8–101.2% and 98.0–102.0%, respectively.     

5-(6-Nitro-2-Benzothiazoleazo)-8-Aminoquinoline as a Sensitive Reagent for the Spectrophotometric Determination of Cobalt and Nickel

Since 8-aminoquinoline has (N,N) as its chelating atom,it is more selective than 8-hydroxyquinoline and 8-mercaptoquinoline. So recently, derivative of 8-aminoquinoline has attracted much attention as analytical reagent. In this work, a new type of 8-aminoquinoline derivative 5-(6-nitro-2-benzothiazoleazo)-8-aminoquinoline (NBTAQ) has been synthesized and tested as a possible chromogenic reagent for the spectrophotometric determination of cobalt and nickel. The result shows that in the presence of the cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and borax buffer solution, cobalt and nickel react with the reagent to form 1:2 blue complexes, respectively. The absorption peaks of Co-NBTAQ and Ni-NBTAQ complexes were located at 650 and 615 nm, respectively, and the apparent molar absorbtivities are 9.21×l0⁴(Co) and 1.13×l0⁵ (Ni) I.mol^-1.cm^-1. The methods adhere to Beer's law for 0-0.32 μg. Ml^-1 of cobalt and 0-0.24 μg. Ml^-1 of nickel and the colour system is stable for no less than 24 h. The experimental variables affecting colour formation and the possible interference of co-existing ions were thoroughly studied. The optimum conditions established were incorporated in the recommended procedures.     

Synthesis and electrochemical properties of purple manganese(III) and red titanium(IV) phthalocyanine complexes octa-substituted at non-peripheral positions with pentylthio groups

The synthesis and electrochemical characterisation of octapentylthiophthalocyaninato manganese(III) acetate (4) and octapentylthiophthalocyaninato titanium(IV) oxide (5) complexes are reported. The complexes have an unusual purple (4) and red (5) colouration since the Q-band is shifted to the near infra red region with Q-band maxima at 893 nm and 808 nm in dichloromethane for 4 and 5, respectively. The structures of the complexes were confirmed by elemental analysis and interpretation of their spectroscopic data, including 2D NMR. The cyclic voltammetry (CV) of the Mn complex (4) showed four quasi reversible couples. The reduction processes are attributed to Mn^IIIPc⁻²/Mn^IIPc⁻² and Mn^IIPc⁻²/Mn^IIPc⁻³ and the oxidation processes to Mn^IVPc⁻²/Mn^IIIPc⁻² and Mn^IVPc⁻¹/Mn^IVPc⁻². The processes were confirmed by spectroelectrochemistry. A well-defined spectrum of the rare Mn^IVPc⁻² species is reported. The CV of the Ti complex (5) showed two well-resolved reduction processes due to Ti^IVPc⁻²/Ti^IIIPc⁻² and Ti^IIIPc⁻²/Ti^IIPc⁻². However, oxidation processes of the complex revealed adsorption behaviour and resulted in decomposition on electrolysis using spectroelectrochemistry.     

Complexation between rare earth metals and 1, 5-di(2-hydroxy-5-sulfophenyl)-3-cyanoformazan occurring on cetyltrimethylammonium bromide micelle

The CTAB micelle enriched DHSPCF molecules on its microsurface in monolayers and then sensitized the complexation between rare earths and DHSPCF. The binary aggregate and the ternary complex both were characterized.     

Determination of trace amounts of beryllium using derivative spectrophotometry in non-ionic micellar medium

A rapid and sensitive method for the trace level determination of beryllium based on the formation of a 1:2 complex (λ_max 560 nm) with 1,4-dihydroxy-9,10-anthracenedione in an aqueous medium containing Triton X-100 is reported. Beer’s law is followed in the range 3.60–360 ng ml⁻¹ of Be(II). The molar absorptivity and Sandell’s sensitivity are 1.68×10⁴ l mol⁻¹cm⁻¹ and 0.54 ng cm⁻², respectively; detection limit is 0.23 ng ml⁻¹ of Be(II). Analysis of synthetic mixtures of composition similar to that of alloys and spiked samples of distilled water, gave results that are in agreement with their beryllium content.
