a simple and sensitive extraction-fluorimetric method for the determination of mercury is reported. the method is based on the quantitative extractionof a ternary crown-mercury-rose bengal complex into chloroform at ph 10 followed by fluorimetric measurements at 580 nm. a linear working range from 0.05 to 2.00 mg/ml is obtained. the relative standard deviation for 1.0 mg/ml mercury is 3.5%. the...

The complexation reaction between iodine and 1,10-Diaza-18-Crown-6 (DA18C6) has been studied in acetonitrile by spectrophotometric, biamperometric and conductometric techniques. The results are indicative of the formation of [(CH3CH)nI+.I¯3] from iodine and acetonitrile, and the formation of DA18C6 I+. I¯ from DA18C6 and [(CH...

The crown-ether coordination compounds ZnX2(18-crown-6), EuX2(18-crown-6) (X: Cl, Br, I), MnI2(18-crown-6), Mn3Cl6(18-crown-6)2, Mn3I6(18-crown-6)2, and Mn2I4(18-crown-6) are obtained by ionic-liquid-based synthesis. Whereas MX2(18-crown-6) (M: Zn, Eu) show conventional structural motives, exhibit unusual single MnX4 tetrahedra coordinated to the complex. Surprisingly, some outstanding photolum...
