Amg. Campana et al., SPECTROFLUOROMETRIC DETERMINATION OF MOLYBDENUM IN VEGETAL TISSUES AND A PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOUND WITH ALIZARIN-RED-S IN MICELLAR MEDIUM, Analyst, 119(8), 1994, pp. 1903-1906
A sensitive method for the spectrofluorimetric determination of Mo wit
h Alizarin Red S, in the presence of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromid
e, is described. The complex is formed at pH 4.7 in micellar medium, a
nd the fluorescence intensity develops immediately. The detection limi
t is 1.7 ng cm(-3) and the linear range is between 6 and 1000 ng cm(-3
). The influence of several ions, as interferents, is discussed. The p
roposed method has been applied to the determination of Mo in vegetal
tissues and in a pharmaceutical compound.
