2,4,6-Tripyridyl-s-triazine (TPTZ) is a color reagent for ferrous ion in the pH range 2 to 10,when ascorbic acid is used as the reducing agent. In this range TPTZ and ferrous ion combine in the ratio of two to one. Tris buffer is commonly used to maintain an alkaline pH, but it reacts with other reducing agents, rendering them ineffective. These observations suggested a method for the joint det...

A kinetic-catalytic spectrophotometric flow-injection method was developed for the rapid and sensitive determination of trace amounts of copper(II). The method is based on the catalytic effect of copper(II) on the redox reaction of cysteine with iron(III). Iron(II) produced by the catalytic reaction reacts with 2,4,6-tris(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine (TPTZ) to form the iron(II)-TPTZ complex (lambd...

Metal-enhanced luminescence of lanthanide complexes by noble metal nanoparticles has attracted much attention because of its high efficiency in improving the luminescent properties of lanthanide ions. Herein, nine kinds of europium and terbium complexes-RE(TPTZ)(ampca)₃·3H₂O, RE(TPTZ)(BA)₃·3H₂O, RE(phen)(ampca)₃·3H₂O, RE(phen)(PTA)1.5·3H₂O (RE = Eu, Tb) and Eu(phen)(BA)₃·3H₂O (TPTZ = 2,4,6-tri(...

A novel simple kinetic spectrophotometric method for the determination of N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) has been developed and validated. The proposed method is based on a coupled redox-complexation reaction, the first step of which is the reduction of Fe(3+) by NAC; the second one includes the complexation of Fe(2+), resulting from the preceding redox reaction, with 2,4,6-trypyridyl-s-triazine (TP...
