The natural compound chrysosplenol-D is a novel, ultrasensitive optical sensor for detection of Cu(II)
2020
Abstract Herein, we introduce a novel, ultrasensitive optical sensor for determination of Cu(II) ions over the concentration range of 0 to 1 μM Cu(II). The optical sensor is based on the natural molecule chrysosplenol-D (Chp-D) extracted from the flowering plant Chiliadenus montanus (Vahl.) Brullo. Free Chp-D emits fluorescence at 566 nm when excited at 292 nm. Chp-D chelates Cu(II) ions to form a 1:1 (metal:ligand) complex, which quenches the fluorescence emission peak of the free probe at 566 nm. “Turn-off” luminescence could be easily determined and provided distinct proof of the chelation of Cu(II) ions by Chp-D. This novel optical sensor offers a considerable fluorescence mechanism (ch…
Multicommutation Fourier transform infrared determination of benzene in gasoline
2004
A fully mechanized method to determine benzene in motor gasolines has been developed based on the use of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and multicommutation. The flow network comprised a set of three-way solenoid valves and was controlled by means of a microcomputer furnished with an electronic interface and running by a software written in QUICK BASIC 4.5. The flow network and control software were designed to implement the multicommutation approach providing facilities to handle sample and reagent solutions, so that, sample dilution, external calibration and standard addition could be easily performed on-line. The method permits the direct determination of benzene without…
Vibrational Spectrometry Strategies for Quality Control of Procymidone in Pesticide Formulations
2005
Abstract Two vibrational spectrometry–based methodologies were developed for procymidone determination in wettable powdered pesticide formulations. The Fourier‐transform infrared (FTIR) procedure was based on the selective extraction of procymidone by chloroform and determination by peak area measurement between 1451 and 1441 cm−1, using a baseline correction established between 1490 and 1410 cm−1, and a precision of 0.4% and a limit of detection of 0.01% w/w procymidone for a sample mass of 25 mg were obtained. For FT‐Raman determination, the selected conditions were peak area measurement between 1005 and 995 cm−1 Raman shift, with a baseline correction fixed between 1030 and 947 cm−1, and…
Automated Fourier Transform near Infrared Determination of Buprofezin in Pesticide Formulations
2005
An automated procedure has been developed for Fourier transform near infrared (FT-NIR) determination of buprofezin in pesticide formulations. This methodology is based on on-line pesticide extraction with acetonitrile from solid samples and its determination by using peak area absorbance measurements between 2147 and 2132 nm, corrected with a horizontal baseline established at 2091 nm. The repeatability, as a relative standard deviation of five independent analyses of 18.9 mg g−1 of buprofezin, was 0.06% and the limit of detection 5 mg L−1. The reagent consumption was clearly reduced compared with a chromatographic reference procedure from 40.4 mL acetonitrile per sample, required by high …
Direct determination of benzene in gasoline by flow-injection Fourier transform infrared spectrometry
1993
Abstract A Fourier transform infrared spectrometric procedure for the automated determination of benzene in gasoline was developed, based on the use of flow-injection analysis. The method permits the direct determination of benzene without any pretreatment of samples, with a limit of detection of 0.02% (v/v) and a relative standard deviation of ca. 1% [for five independent analyses of a diluted sample containing a 0.4% (v/v) of benzene]. Results found by direct analysis agreed with those obtained by off-line and on-line standard addition methods. A rapid quality control procedure was developed, based on the on-line injection of gasoline samples (diluted 1 + 9 in hexane) into a carrier strea…
Quality control of Metamitron in agrochemicals using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy in the middle and near range
2006
Abstract Two vibrational spectrometry-based methodologies were developed for Metamitron determination in pesticide formulations. Fourier transform-middle infrared (FT-MIR) procedure was based on the extraction of Metamitron by CHCl 3 and latter determination by peak area measurement between 1556 and 1533 cm −1 , corrected with a two points baseline established from 1572 to 1514 cm −1 . Fourier transform-near infrared (FT-NIR) determination was made after the extraction of Metamitron in acetonitrile and measuring the peak area between 6434 and 6394 cm −1 corrected using a two points baseline defined between 6555 and 6228 cm −1 . Repeatability, as relative standard deviation, of 5 independent…
Solid-phase FT-Raman determination of caffeine in energy drinks
2005
Abstract A solid-phase vibrational spectrometry-based methodology (solid-phase Fourier transform-Raman spectrometry, SP-FT-Raman) has been developed for caffeine determination in commercial energy drink samples. The Raman spectra of caffeine, fixed on a C18 solid phase packed into a glass tube of 5 mm i.d., was obtained directly between 3500 and 70 cm −1 . In order to quantify caffeine, Raman intensity between 573 and 542 cm −1 corrected using a baseline defined between 580 and 540 cm −1 was used. A repeatability of 3%, as relative standard deviation of five analysis of a 200 mg l −1 concentration, and a limit of detection of 18 mg l −1 were obtained. The SP-FT-Raman procedure provides a sa…
Simultaneous determination of Folpet and Metalaxyl in pesticide formulations by flow injection Fourier transform infrared spectrometry
2003
Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometric methodology has been developed for the simultaneous determination of Folpet and Metalaxyl in pesticide formulations. The method involves the extraction of both active principles by sonication of the sample with CHCl3 and direct measurement of the absorbance using peak height values at 1798 cm −1 corrected with a baseline defined at 1810 cm −1 for Folpet, and peak area data established from 1677 to 1667 cm −1 corrected using a baseline from 1692 to 1628 cm −1 for Metalaxyl. Limits of detection (3 s) values of 17 and 16 gg −1 were found for Folpet and Metalaxyl, respectively, with results comparable with those found by liquid chromatography with…
Fourier transform infrared determination of Fluometuron in pesticide formulations
2003
Abstract A single method has been developed for Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) determination of Fluometuron in pesticide formulations. Samples were ultrasonically shaken with CHCl3 for 5 min and the FTIR spectra of sample extracts and standards were obtained at a nominal resolution of 4 cm−1 from 4000 to 900 cm−1 accumulating 25 scans. Fluometuron determination is based on the measure of peak area from 1342 to 1321 cm−1 corrected using a baseline defined from 1352 to 1294 cm−1. This procedure provided a limit of detection of 6.5 μg g−1, a sensitivity of 0.852 a.u. g mg−1 for a pathlength of 0.11 mm, a relative standard deviation of 1.6% for three analysis of a sample containing 50.4% (w/…
On-line solvent recycling: a tool for the development of clean analytical chemistry in flow injection Fourier transform infrared spectrometry. Determ…
1998
Abstract A flow injection strategy has been developed for the direct determination of ketoprofen in pharmaceuticals by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry also incorporating a distillation unit which allows the carbon tetrachloride employed to dissolve samples and standards and used as a carrier to be recovered on-line. The system developed permits a drastic reduction of reagent consumption and easy and fast sampling and cleaning of the measurement cell. For the quantification of ketoprofen in pharmaceuticals the carbonyl bands at 1712 and 1666 cm −1 were employed and the developed method provided a 3 σ limit of detection of 0.04 mg ml −1 , a dynamic range up to 10 mg ml −1 and typical …
