Js. Esteveromero et al., MICELLAR-ENHANCED SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF ORGANIC-SPECIES, TrAC. Trends in analytical chemistry, 14(1), 1995, pp. 29-37
The use of surfactants to enhance spectrophotometric procedures for th
e determination of organic species is critically reviewed. Special emp
hasis is placed on the effects of surfactants on chromogenic derivatiz
ation reactions, The following topics are addressed: modification of a
cid-base and solubility equilibria, spectral changes, modification of
reaction rates, and applications in equilibrium-and kinetic-based anal
ytical procedures, Applications to flow injection procedures are also
briefly reviewed.
