FI automatic method for the determination of copper(II) based on coproporphyrin I-Cu(II)/TCPO/H(2)O(2) chemiluminescence reaction for the screening o…
2004
Abstract In this paper, an automatic method for the screening of water samples containing Cu(II) was proposed, based on peryoxalate chemiluminescence reaction using coproporphyrin I as fluorophor compound to provide selectivity and a simple flow injection (FI) chemiluminescence detector (CLD). FI system conditions were chosen in order to distinguish samples over or under legislation limit established (50 μg l−1) with high reliability. The detection limit found was 9 μg l−1 and the linear dynamic range was 15–125 μg l−1 of Cu(II). Repeatibility and reproducibility studies gave good precision and accuracy with recovery near 100%. Under these conditions, the method resulted selective and only …
Photo-induced chemiluminescence determination of the pesticide Buminafos by a Multicommutation flow-analysis assembly
2008
Abstract The preliminary experiments in this paper deal with the photo-induced chemiluminescent behaviour of Buminafos family, after the experimental screening tests and several of them resulted positive, the herbicide Buminafos was selected to develop a new analytical method. The determination of Buminafos was performed with the aid of a Multicommutation (a solenoid valve set) assembly. The method involves the on-line photo-degradation of the analyte (stopped flow, 5 s) with the selected suitable medium (0.05% hydrogen peroxide) and its subsequent chemiluminescent oxidation by the potassium permanganate. Sample solution alternated segments with the photo-degradation medium; and, after the …
Photo-induced chemiluminescence-based determination of diphenamid by using a multicommuted flow system
2007
This manuscript deals with the application of molecular connectivity calculations to predict the photo-induced chemiluminescent behaviour of the family of herbicides grouped as amides. Several compounds of this group were theoretically studied by means of a general discriminant equation formerly obtained, being 18 of them (plus eight from the chloroacetanilide sub-group) predicted with a high probability as photo-induced chemiluminescent. Empirical confirmation of the chemiluminometric behaviour was performed with some few commercially available amide herbicides. On the basis of these results, a new multicommutation-photo-chemiluminescent method is proposed for the determination of the diph…
Sensitive determination of aliphatic amines in water by high-performance liquid chromatography with chemiluminescence detection.
2004
A sensitive method has been developed for liquid chromatographic determination of short aliphatic amines in water samples. Analytes are preconcentrated and dansylated on solid sorbents (C18 solid-phase extraction cartridges). The dansyl derivatives are chromatographed and post-column mixed with peroxyoxalate (TCPO) and H2O2 in order to perform chemiluminescence detection. Optimal results have been obtained using a sample volume of 5 ml. The method has been applied to the quantification or screening of several aliphatic amines: methylamine, ethylamine, butylamine, diethylamine, pentylamine and hexylamine. The screening procedure has been developed including also polyamines (putrescine, cadav…
Flow-injection analysis study of the chemiluminescent behaviour of proflavine and acriflavine
2001
Abstract The chemiluminescent behaviour of the amino acridines like acriflavine, and proflavin is reported. Different strong oxidants (potassium permanganate, cerium(IV), hexacyanoferrate(III), hydrogen peroxide in different media) were tested, and potassium permanganate in sulphuric acid medium was selected. The study of the experimental parameters affecting the oxidation and detection was performed with the aid of a FIA assembly. The calibration graph was applied over the range 0.05–12.0 μg ml −1 of acriflavine (regression coefficient 0.9957, and the calculated relative standard deviation (R.S.D., %) was 0.9; LOD 10 ng ml −1 and the sample throughput 48 h −1 . The study of interfering com…
Direct flow injection chemiluminescence determination of salicylamide
1999
Abstract A new direct flow injection chemiluminescence method is proposed for the determination of salicylamide, based upon the oxidation of the drug by potassium permanganate in dilute sulphuric acid. The calibration graph is linear over the range 20 ng ml−1 (30 limit of detection)–8 μg ml−1 salicylamide, with a relative standard deviation (n=50, 0.5 μg ml−1) of 1.7%. The average sample insertion rate is 142 h−1. The influence of relevant foreign compounds is found to be relatively slight. The method is applied to the determination of salicylamide in a pharmaceutical formulation and human urine.

Sequential injection analysis (SIA)-chemiluminescence determination of indomethacin using tris[(2,2'-bipyridyl)]ruthenium(III) as reagent and its app…
2006
Abstract Automated sequential injection (SIA) method for chemiluminescence (CL) determination of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug indomethacin ( I ) was devised. The CL radiation was emitted in the reaction of I (dissolved in aqueous 50% v/v ethanol) with intermediate reagent tris(2,2′-bipyridyl)ruthenium(III) (Ru(bipy) 3 3+ ) in the presence of acetate. The Ru(bipy) 3 3+ was generated on-line in the SIA system by the oxidation of 0.5 mM tris(2,2′-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) (Ru(bipy) 3 2+ ) with Ce(IV) ammonium sulphate in diluted sulphuric acid. The optimum sequence, concentrations, and aspirated volumes of reactant zones were: 15 mM Ce(IV) in 50 mM sulphuric acid 41 μL, 0.5 mM Ru(bipy) 3 …
Chemi- and Bioluminescence of Cyclic Peroxides
2018
Bioluminescence is a phenomenon that has fascinated mankind for centuries. Today the phenomenon and its sibling, chemiluminescence, have impacted society with a number of useful applications in fields like analytical chemistry and medicine, just to mention two. In this review, a molecular-orbital perspective is adopted to explain the chemistry behind chemiexcitation in both chemi- and bioluminescence. First, the uncatalyzed thermal dissociation of 1,2-dioxetane is presented and analyzed to explain, for example, the preference for triplet excited product states and increased yield with larger nonreactive substituents. The catalyzed fragmentation reaction and related details are then exemplif…
Photoinduced chemiluminescence of pharmaceuticals
2005
Abstract A screening test for the forward development of chemiluminescence systems able to determine pharmaceutical compounds is reported. The test is based on the on-line photodegradation of the drugs by using a photoreactor consisting of 697 cm × 0.5 mm PTFE tubing helically coiled around an 8 W low-pressure mercury lamp. Photodegraded pharmaceuticals are detected by direct chemiluminescence of the resulting photofragments and their subsequent reaction with potassium permanganate in sulphuric acid medium as oxidant. The screening comprised 97 compounds with different molecular structures and relevant members of the most important families of pharmaceuticals are tested (amino acids, carbox…
