Simultaneous Derivative Spectrophotometric Quantification of Diethylamine Salicylate and Methyl Nicotinate in Ointments

A direct derivative, D1 i.e. dA/dλ, spectrophotometric procedure for simultaneous determination of diethylamine salicylate and methyl nicotinate in their binary mixtures and in ointments has been investigated. Good percent mean recoveries, 99.68 ± 0.58 & 99.71 ± 0.27 and 100.85 ± 0.21, could be obtained for diethylamine salicylate at 303 nm & 236 nm and methyl nicotinate at 224 nm, in order, added to ointment. The band overlapping in the first order due to the coexisting parabens, main additive, and the water-washable ointment base occurs sufficient away from those wavelengths chosen for the direct D1-measurement of both drug substances.     

Macrocyclic 14-Membered Ring Diketal Dilactams: Evaluation of their Divalent Cation Binding Properties

The binding abilities of a new class of 14-membered ring ligands bearing diketal dilactam functions were explored by UV-visible spectrophotometry. Their formation constants, determined in THF solution, showed appreciable complexation with divalent cations (stability order: Sr²⁺≥Ca²⁺>Zn²⁺≥Mg²⁺>Ba²⁺) whereas no association was observed with monovalent cations. The stoichiometry of the complexes formed was essentially 1:1 although sometimes a low percentage (<10%) of 1:2 (cation–ligand) species was detected. The corresponding formation constants determined by computation (STAR program) were in the range 1.5<log?β ¹¹<4.8 and 4.4<log?β ¹²<7.1. They depend significantly on the nature of the substituents. In addition, solvent extractions carried out in a water–chloroform system showed the highest constants (log K ^ex) for the most substituted macrocycles 7b and 7c (norephedrine series) with a lipophilic skeleton.     

Kinetics for the Reaction between Potassium Ferricyanide and Cobalt Chloride in Aqueous Solution and Microemulsion

The kinetics for the reaction between potassium ferricyanide (K₃Fe(CN)₆) and cobalt chloride (CoCl₂) in aqueous solution and water/bis(2-ethylhexyl) sodium sulfosuccianate (AOT)/isooctane microemulsions were studied by three-wavelength spectrophotometry at 298.2 K. The second-order rate constants (k₂) were calculated from the time dependence of the concentration of reactant K₃Fe(CN)₆. The result showed that the reaction rates in water/AOT/isooctane microemulsions were slower than that in the aqueous solution, and k₂ decreased with molar ratio (ω) of water to AOT in microemulsions, which was interpreted by the transition state theory and confirmed that the reaction took place at the interfaces of the microemulsion water pools.     

Catalytic and kinetic spectrophotometric method for determination of vanadium(V) by 2,3,4-trihydroxyacetophenonephenylhydrazone

A new catalytic and kinetic spectrophotometric method for the determination of vanadium(V) was studied using 2,3,4-trihydroxyacetophenonephenylhydrazone (THAPPH) as an analytical reagent. The present method was developed on the catalytic effect of vanadium on oxidation of THAPPH by hydrogen peroxide in hydrochloric acid–potassium chloride buffer (pH = 2.8) at the 20th minute. The metal ion has formed 1:2 (M:L) complex with THAPPH. Beer’s law was obeyed in the range 20–120 ng/mL of V(V) at λ_max 390 nm. The sensitivity of the method was calculated in terms of molar absorptivity (1.999 × 10⁵ L mol⁻¹cm⁻¹) and Sandell’s sensitivity (0.000254 μg cm⁻²), shows that this method is more sensitive. The standard deviation (0.0022), relative standard deviation (0.56%), confidence limit (±0.0015) and standard error (0.0007) revealed that the developed method has more precision and accuracy. The stability constant was calculated with the help of Asmu’s (9.411 × 10⁻¹¹) and Edmond’s & Birnbaum’s (9.504 × 10⁻¹¹) methods at room temperature. The interfering effect of various cations and anions was also studied. The present method was successfully applied for the determination of vanadium(V) in environmental and alloy samples. The method’s validity was checked by comparing the results obtained with atomic-absorption spectrophotometry and also by evaluation of results using F-test.

Ultrasonically assisted removal of Congo Red,Phloxine B and Fast green FCF in ternary mixture using novel nanocomposite following their simultaneous analysis by derivative spectrophotometry

In this study dependency of simultaneous adsorption of Congo Red (CR), Phloxine B (BP) and Fast green FCF (FG) onto CuS/ZnS nanocomposites loaded on activated carbon (CuS/ZnS-NCs-AC) to pH, adsorbent mass, sonication time and initial dyes concentration were modeled and optimized, while CuS/ZnS-NCs-AC was identified by XRD, FESEM and EDS analysis. CR, PB and FG concentration determination were undertaken by first and second order derivative spectrophotometry in ternary mixture. According to central composite design (CCD) based on desirability function (DF), the best experimental conditions was set as pH 6.0, 0.02 g CuS/ZnS-NCs-AC, 5 min sonication time, 15 mg L⁻¹ for PB and 10 mg L⁻¹ for other dyes. Conduction of experiments to above conditions lead to highest dyes removal efficiency of 99.72, 98.8 and 98.17 for CR, PB and FG, respectively. The adsorption data efficiently fitted by Langmuir isotherm model, while the order of maximum adsorption capacity (Q_max) for PB (128.21 mg g⁻¹) > CR (88.57 mg g⁻¹) > FG (73.40 mg g⁻¹) is related to their different structure and charges. Kinetics of process was efficiently explained according to pseudo-second-order kinetic in cooperation of Weber and Morris based on intraparticle diffusion.     

Simultaneous Analysis of a Ternary Mixture of Pharmaceuticals Containing Trimethoprim,Sulphamethoxazole, and Phenazopyridine Hydrochloride Using Third-Derivative and Zero-Order Photodiode Array Spectrophotometry

A simple and rapid method for the simultaneous analysis of a ternary mixture containing trimethoprim, sulphamethoxazole and phenazopyridine hydrochloride is reported. The procedure consists of extraction in 0.1 M hydrochloric acid, filteration and measurement of the amplitudes of the third-derivative spectra at 242 and 276 nm and the absorbance at 450 nm for the determination of trimethoprim, sulphamethoxazole and phenazopyridine hydrochloride, respectively. Good linearity, accuracy, precision and selectivity were found, and the method is proposed for routine quality control purposes, even for the uniformity of contents test.     

Trace level vanadium determination using thermal lens spectrophotometry

Trace level vanadium determination is reported using a dual beam thermal lens spectrometer. The thermal lens was generated using an argon ion beam laser (pump beam) which was focused into a sample cuvette. The thermal lens signal (TLs) was monitored with a He-Ne laser beam and a photodiode detector. Multichannel averager software was developed for processing the transient TLs. The optimal set up, ensuring maximum sensitivity and linear calibration graphs was obtained using experimental design techniques. Under optimized conditions, the detection limits for aqueous and ethanol-water (2+3 v/v) and (4+1 v/v) vanadium complex solutions were, respectively, 0.0071 mg/l, 0.0065 and 0.0039 mg/l.     

Thermodynamic and voltammetric studies of salicylaldehyde-4-(2-pyridyl)-3-thiosemicarbazone

Summary UV spectra, dc polarograms, cyclic voltammetry and coulometry measurements of salicylaldehyde-4-(2-pyridyl)-3-thiosemicarbazone (H₂ SPT) were recorded inBritton-Robinson buffer solutions ofpH 2–12. The dissociation constants of H₂ SPT evaluated spectrophotometrically and potentiometrically in a 5% (v/v)DMF-water mixture are concordant. The dc-polarograms in solutions ofpH<8.5 exhibit a single 4-electron diffusion-controlled polarographic wave, whereas in solutions ofpH>8.5 two waves are observed. The cyclic voltammograms give a single cathodic peak in acidic and neutral solutions, whereas two cathodic peaks can be identified in alkaline ones. An electrode mechanism is proposed and discussed. The effect of temperature on the dissociation constants and the polarographic data was also investigated; the corresponding thermodynamic parameters were derived and are discussed.

Die spektrophotometrisch und potentiometrisch ermittelten Dissoziationskonstanten von H₂ SPT in 5% (v/v)DMF/Wasser stimmen überein. In Lösungen mit einempH-Wert unter 8.5 zeigen die dc-Polarogramme eine einzelne diffusionskontrollierte polarographische Welle (4e^–), während in Lösungen mit einempH-Wert von über 8.5 zwei Wellen zu beobachten sind. Die cyclischen Voltammogramme weisen in sauren und neutralen Lösungen einen, in basischen Lösungen hingegen zwei kathodische Peaks auf. Ein Elektrodenmechanismus wird vorgeschlagen und diskutiert. Der Effekt der Temperatur auf die Dissoziationskonstanten und die polarographischen Ergebnisse wurde ebenfalls untersucht. Die entsprechenden thermodynamischen Größen wurden bestimmt und werden diskutiert.
