abstract

in this study a new simple selective and sensitive spectrophotometric procedure for determination of fe(iii) is described. it is based on the formation of a colored complex between ferric iron and ethyl maltol, a strong and highly selective ligand for fe(iii). after mixing sample and reagent, and incubating at the room temperature, fe(iii)-ethyl maltol complex was extracted with different solvents and the absorbance was measured at 395 nm. the effect of analytical variables, i.e. amount and type of the reagents, ph, ratio of fe(iii)/ethyl maltol, presence of other ions, etc., in the determination of iron were studied. our findings showed that the optimum wavelength for the measurement was 395 nm. the optimum condition for complex formation and determination of fe(iii) were: molar ratio of ethyl maltol/fe(iii) = 6-10; ph = 5. the best solvent for extraction was chloroform. under the recommended conditions, formation of the complex is completed in less than 2.5 h. limit of detection was found to be 2.5×10-6 m of fe(iii). linear regression (r2=0.9998) was observed over the range of 2.5×10-6 to 5×10-4 m of the fe(iii) with respect to the complex nominal concentration. ions commonly associated with iron did not interfere in the present method. this is a simple, reproducible, and sensitive method for determination of fe(iii) in μmolar levels.

Toxicity Studies of Ethyl Maltol and Iron Complexes in Mice

Ethyl maltol and iron complexes are products of ethyl maltol and the iron found in the cooking pots used to prepare the Chinese dish, hot-pot. Because their safety is undocumented, the toxicity study of ethyl maltol and iron complexes was conducted in male and female Kunming (KM) mice. The animal study was designed based on the preliminary study conducted to determine the median lethal dose (LD...

Selective Speciation of Ferric Iron by a New Heterocyclic Ligand

The synthesis and analytical applications of the new heterocyclic ligand are described. The complexation reaction of the ligand with some cations was studied in aqueous methanol at room temperature using the spectrophotometric method. Results revealed that only the absorption spectra of the Fe (III)–ligand complex show a high redshift of the absorption maximum in the aqueous methanol soluti...

Spectrophotometric Determination of Mefenamic Acid in Biological Samples Using Magnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles as a Sorbent for Solid Phase Extraction

This work investigates the potential of magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles as an adsorbent for separation and preconcentration of trace amounts of mefenamic acid in aquatic and biological samples, prior to spectrophotometric determination. The magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MIONs) were synthesized by mixing of ferrous and ferric chlorides. The possible parameters affecting the enrichment were opt...

A NEW SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC PROCEDURE FOR THE DETERMINATION OF NICKEL (11) USING 6-PHENYL-2,3-DIHYDRO-AS-TRIAZINE-3 –THIONE

A spectrophotometric procedure for the determination of Nickel (??) based on the complex formation with 6-phenyl-2, 3-dihydro-as-triazine-3-thione (PDTT) was developed. A yellow compound forms and is easily extractable by chloroform at pH>6. The mole ratio between Nickel (??) and PDTT is 1:4. The absorbance of the complex obeys Beer's law over the concentration range of 1-7 ug of Ni (??) pe...

Ferrozine-A New Spectrophotometric Reagent for Iron

-N=C&N-, have been known to react as bidentate ligands with certain metal ions such as ferrous, cuprous, and cobaltous, to give colored complex species (1-6). This effect was first noticed with the ferrous ion ( I ) , and since this complex of a given compound is generally of a more intense color than are those with other ions (7), the atomic configuration in question was given the trivial name...
