High-performance liquid chromatography of micelle-solubilized complexes-IV Reversed-phase ion-pair chromatography of metal-3,5-diBr-PADAP-Triton X-100 complexes

The micellar solubilization complex systems of V(V), Cu(II), Zr(IV), Pd(II), Fe(III), Ni(II) and Co(II) with 3,5-diBr-PADAP and Triton X-100 have been investigated by HPLC on an ODS (5 x 250 mm) column with a ternary eluent of methanol-acetone-acetone-water containing TBA(+) and acetate buffer (pH 3.0) at 600 or 572 nm wavelength for the detection of the complexes. An HPLC-spectrophotometric method for determination of seven metal ions has been developed. The peak height calibration curves are linear up to 50-100 mu/1, metal ion concentration. The relative standard deviations for the determination of 30.0 mu/1 metal ion were 0.9-1.6% and the detection limits (S/N = 3) were 1.1-3.6 mug/1.
