Novel spectrofluorimetric method for the determination of sulfite with rhodamine B hydrazide in a micellar medium

A novel spectrofluorimetric method for the determination of sulfite using rhodamine B hydrazide as fluorogenic reagent in the presence of polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate (Tween 80) surfactant micelles is described. The method is based on the mixture of sulfite with rhodamine B hydrazide, a colorless, non-fluorescent substance in Tween 80 surfactant micelles which gives rhodamine B-like fluorescence emission. The fluorescence intensity increase is linearly related to the concentration of sulfite in the range 5-800 ng ml⁻¹ with a detection limit of 1.4 ng ml⁻¹ (3σ). The optimal conditions for the detection of sulfite are evaluated and the possible detection mechanism is also discussed. The method has been successfully applied to the determination of total sulfite in wines and compares well with the standard iodimetric method.

A new fluorescent probe of rhodamine B derivative for the detection of copper ion

A new fluorescent probe, rhodamine B hydrazide oxalamide (RBHO), which shows very weak fluorescence, was synthesized, and its fluorescence could be substantially enhanced by the addition of copper ion. The probe shows a high selectivity and sensitivity to copper ion by forming a 1:1 complex in acetonitrile, and the chelating is reversible. Limit of detection for copper ion in acetonitrile was found to be 3.7 × 10⁻⁸ mol L⁻¹. It was also found that copper ion could catalyze the hydrolysis of the probe in 50% (v/v) buffered (10 mM Tris–HCl, pH 7.0) water/acetonitrile giving a highly fluorescent product, and the fluorescence detection of copper ion was developed in this neutral buffered media with a detection limit of 6.4 × 10⁻⁷ mol L⁻¹. Determination of copper ion in water and synthetic samples in the presence of different interfering metal ions was successfully carried out with the new probe RBHO.     

Separation and determination of some trivalent metal ions using rhodamine B grafted polyurethane foam

The incorporation of rhodamine B into polyurethane foam matrix was prepared by mixing the rhodamine B with polyol (polyether) prior to the addition of diisocyanate reagent to form the polyurethane foam material. Rhodamine B grafted polyurethane foam (Rod.B-PUF) was found to be very suitable for the separation and preconcentration of trivalent metal ions e.g. bismuth (III), antimony (III) and iron (III) from thiocyanate solutions. Bismuth and antimony were separated from concentrated acid medium (1–6 M H₂SO₄). Iron (III) was separated from pH 1 to 3. The kinetics of sorption of the Bi (III), Sb (III) and Fe (III) onto the Rod.B-PUF was found to be fast, the extraction is accomplished from 5 to 10 min with average values of half-life of sorption (t_1/2) of 2.9 min. The average values of the Gibbs free energy (ΔG) for the sorption of metal ions onto Rod.B-PUF are ?6.6 kJ mol^?1, which reflect the spontaneous nature of sorption process. The sorption mechanism of the metal ion onto Rod.B-PUF was also discussed.     

Micelle-mediated cloud point extraction and spectrophotometric determination of rhodamine B using Triton X-100

A new micelle-mediated cloud point extraction method is described for sensitive and selective determination of trace amounts of rhodamine B by spectrophotometry. The method is based on the cloud point extraction of rhodamine B from aqueous solution using Triton X-100 in acidic media. The extracted surfactant rich phase is diluted with water and its absorbance is measured at 563 nm by a spectophotometer. The effects of different operating parameters such as concentration of surfactant and salt, temperature and pH on the cloud point extraction of rhodamine B were studied in details and a set of optimum conditions were obtained. Under optimum conditions a linear calibration graph in the range of 5-550 ng mL⁻¹ of rhodamine B in the initial solution with r = 0.9991 (n = 15) was obtained. Detection limit based on three times the standard deviation of the blank (3S_b) was 1.3 ng mL⁻¹ (n = 10) and the relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) for 50 and 350 ng mL⁻¹ of rhodamine B was 2.40 and 0.87% (n = 10), respectively. The method was applied for the determination of rhodamine B in soft pastel, hand washing liquid soap, matches tip and textile dyes mixture samples.     

Application of rhodamine B hydrazide as a new fluorogenic indicator in the highly sensitive determination of hydrogen peroxide and glucose based on the catalytic effect of iron(III)-tetrasulfonato-phthalocyanine

A sensitive, selective and rapid spectrofluorimetric method is proposed for the determination of hydrogen peroxide using rhodamine B hydrazide as a fluorogenic substrate catalyzed by iron(III)-tetrasulfonatophthalocyanine. It is based on the oxidation of rhodamine B hydrazide, a colorless, non-fluorescent spirolactam hydrazide, by hydrogen peroxide which generates the highly fluorescent product rhodamine B. Under optimum conditions, the responses for hydrogen peroxide were linear from 2.0 × 10⁻⁸ to 2.0 × 10⁻⁶ mol L⁻¹, with a detection limit of 3.7 × 10⁻⁹ mol L⁻¹ in a 3.5 min reaction period. It can easily be incorporated into the determination of biochemical substances that produce hydrogen peroxide under catalytic oxidation in the presence of their oxidase. The possibility has been tested for the determination of glucose in human sera as an example.     

A selective fluorescence-on reaction of spiro form fluorescein hydrazide with Cu(II)

The spiro form fluorescein hydrazide (1) bearing a cleavable active bond is characterized as a highly selective and sensitive fluorescence probe for Cu²⁺. In 0.01 M Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.2), the probe displays a highly selective fluorescence-on response to Cu²⁺ only, instead of other common metal ions. The reaction mechanism has been explored and proposed as that the hydrazide group of 1 recognizes and binds Cu²⁺, and the subsequent complexation of Cu²⁺ promotes hydrolytic cleavage of the amide bond, causing the release of fluorophore (fluorescein) and thereby the retrievement of fluorescence. Conditions for fluorescence measurement were optimized, generating a calibration curve that is linear over the concentration range of 0.1-10 μM Cu²⁺. The detection limit for Cu²⁺ is 64 nM based on 11 blank determinations (k = 3), also showing a highly sensitive feature. The fluorescence-on reaction described here has been used for the determination of trace Cu²⁺ in real biological fluids with satisfactory results.

Fluorimetric sequential injection determination of magnesium using 8-hydroxiquinoline-5-sulfonic acid in a micellar medium

A fluorimetric sequential injection method for the determination of magnesium is proposed. The system is based on the complex formation between Mg(II) and 8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonic acid (HQS). The reaction was carried out in the presence of ethylene glycol-bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) as a masking agent. Cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (HTAC) was employed as a fluorescence enhancer. The influence of several variables, such as reagent concentration, volumes and pH has been investigated. The reagent was prepared in a 0.1 M Tris-HCl buffer solution (pH 9). A detection limit of 12 mug l(-1) magnesium was obtained. The proposed method was applied to the determination of magnesium in natural waters.     

Chemiluminescence behavior based on oxidation reaction of rhodamine B with cerium(IV) in sulfuric acid medium

The chemiluminescence (CL) of the rhodamine B (RhB)-cerium(IV) system was investigated by flow-injection. Rhodamine B was suggested to be a suitable chemiluminescent reagent in acidic conditions. When the concentration of rhodamine B was 100 mg l⁻¹ and cerium sulfate was 1.6 mmol l⁻¹ in sulfuric acid, the chemiluminescent intensity was found to be highest by using 0.3 mol l⁻¹ sulfuric acid as a carrier solution. The particular chemiluminescent system could tolerate such distinct acidic environments that it was utilized for detecting many compounds that are stable in acidic solutions. Furthermore, by virtue of IR, UV-Vis and luminescence spectroscopic measurements, the chemiluminescent behavior of rhodamine B was studied and a possible mechanism for this chemiluminescent reaction was proposed. The emitter was affirmed to be a radical species due to one of the oxidation products of RhB; the chemiluminescent emissive wavelength was about 425 nm.     

Flow-injection chemiluminescence assay for ultra-trace determination of DNA using rhodamine B-Ce(IV)-DNA ternary system in sulfuric acid media

A novel flow-injection chemiluminescence method for the determination of DNA at ultra-trace level has been established. In 0.8 M sulfuric acid media, the chemiluminescence of the rhodamine B-cerium (IV) or Ce(IV) system is enhanced by DNA, activated previously by imidazole-HCl buffer solution (pH 7.0). The enhanced intensity of chemiluminescence is in proportion to log DNA concentration 1.0×10⁻⁸ to 0.1 μg ml⁻¹ for herring sperm DNA and 2.0×10⁻⁶ to 0.2 μg ml⁻¹ for calf thymus DNA with 3σ detection limits of 8.3×10⁻⁹ μg ml⁻¹ for herring sperm DNA and 3.5×10⁻⁷ μg ml⁻¹ for calf thymus DNA, respectively. The relative standard deviation for 1.0×10⁻⁴ μg ml⁻¹ herring sperm DNA was 0.99% and 2.0×10⁻³ μg ml⁻¹ for calf thymus DNA was 1.1% (n=11). Using the optimized system, DNA contents in six synthetic samples has been determined with recoveries of 99.5-109.0%. The possible mechanism has also been studied in this paper.

Sensitive and selective spectrofluorimetric determination of chromium(VI) in water by fluorescence enhancement

A new fluorogenic method for the selective and sensitive determination of chromium(VI) in acidic water using rhodamine B hydrazide was developed. This method was based on the oxidation of non-fluorescent rhodamine B hydrazide by potassium dichromate in acidic aqueous conditions to give rhodamine B, which was highly fluorescent, as a product. With the optimum condition described, the fluorescence enhancement at 585 nm was linearly related to the concentration of chromium(VI) in the range of 5.0 × 10⁻⁸ to 2.0 × 10⁻⁶ mol L⁻¹ (2.60-104 ng mL⁻¹) with a correlation coefficient of R² = 0.9993 (n = 18) and a detection limit of 5.5 × 10⁻⁹ mol L⁻¹ (0.29 ng mL⁻¹). The R.S.D. was 2.2% (n = 5). The proposed method was also applied to the determination of chromium(VI) in drinking water, river water and synthetic samples.

Kinetic studies of the polymerization of an epoxy resin modified with rhodamine B

Novel fluorescent materials were satisfactorily synthesized. With this aim, an epoxy resin based on diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) was reacted with a laser dye, rhodamine B (RB), to achieve an epoxy-based prepolymer. Then, a diamine, m-xylylenediamine (MXDA), was used as hardener with the purpose of obtaining a crosslinked polymer. The curing conditions strongly influence the intended final properties and the optimization of the curing requires a reliable kinetic model. For that reason, this work presents the kinetic study of the polymerization of the epoxy resin by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in isothermal mode as well as by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). DSC data were fitted using a Kamal autocatalytic equation. Conversion as a function of reaction time curves obtained by means of both techniques agreed well. In addition, the synthesized epoxy-based materials were characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (¹H NMR) and their fluorescent properties were also analysed.

Fluorimetric determination of alkaline phosphatase in solid and fluid dairy products

A new assay has been developed for measuring residual alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in a wide variety of dairy products. The method proposed is simple, rapid and directly applicable to solid and liquid dairy samples. ALP in the test sample hydrolyzes a non fluorescent substrate, trifluoromethyl-β-umbelliferone phosphate, to its highly fluorescent phenolate product. The assay is performed in a reverse micellar medium composed of mixed buffer (2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol buffer pH 9.0 and borate buffer pH 9.0) in AOT/isooctane, at a temperature of 38 °C. Total test time is 450 s. Reaction rates are linear (except for butter) up to 8.5 and 11% (v/v) raw milk, for whole milk and chocolate milk, respectively. The detection limits are 0.04, 0.4 and 0.22% (v/v) raw milk, for whole milk, chocolate milk and butter, respectively. The precision of the fluorimetric method was assessed by repeated analysis of a pasteurized milk sample spiked with mixed herd raw milk. The accuracy of the method was evaluated by comparison with an official colorimetric assay using p-nitrophenylphosphate as ALP substrate.
