n (M = Ag, 9; Au, 10) when 1:1 molar ratios are used instead. Visible-ultraviolet and electrochemical studies of the new complexes are reported. Two, reversible one-electron oxidations to the mono-and di-cation occur in complexes 2-10 at more positive potentials than the two reversible oxidations exhibited by the free P4 (1) ligand. The structures of 1 and 2 have been confirmed by X-ray analysis.
A method for the fluorometric determination of cadmium(II) is proposed. The metal reacts with Calcein in N,N dimethylformamide and the cadmium(II)-Calcein complex formed presents an emission maximum at 534 nm and several excitation maximum, the determination being carried out at an excitation wavelength of either 519 or 496 nm. Over the range 1-70 ng ml-', the fluorescence intensity is linear with the cadmium(II) concentration; the obtained precision (relative standard deviation) is about 4%. The proposed method permits the determination of cadmium(II) at the trace level. The method was applied to the determination of cadmium in cadmium organic salts, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) thermal stabilizers and PVC polymers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
