Abstract: | Sulfonylcalix4]arenetetrasulfonate (SO2CAS) has been examined as a pre-column chelating reagent for ultratrace determination of metal ions by ion-pair reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with spectrophotometric detection. Metal ions were converted into the SO2CAS chelates in an acetic buffer solution (pH 4.7). The chelates were injected onto a n-octadecylsilanized silica-type Chromolith™ Performance RP-18e column and were eluted using a methanol (50 wt.%)-water eluent (pH 5.6) containing tetra-n-butylammonium bromide (7.0 mmol kg−1), acetate buffer (5.0 mmol kg−1), and disodium ethylendiamine-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetate (0.10 mmol kg−1). Under the conditions used, Al(III), Fe(III), and Ti(IV) were selectively detected among 21 kinds of metal ions Al(III), Ba(II), Be(II), Ca(II), Cd(II), Co(II), Cr(III), Cu(II), Fe(III), Ga(III), Hf(IV), In(III), Mg(II), Mn(II), Mo(VI), Ni(II), Pb(II), Ti(IV), V(V), Zn(II), and Zr(IV)]. The detection limits on a 3σ blank basis were 8.8 nmol dm−3 (0.24 ng cm−3) for Al(III), 7.6 nmol dm−3 (0.42 ng cm−3) for Fe(III), and 17 nmol dm−3 (0.80 ng cm−3) for Ti(IV). The practical applicability of the proposed method was checked using river and tap water samples. |
