The azo reagent 2-((E)-(1H-benzo [d]imidazol2-yl)diazenyl)-5-((E)-benzyl ideneimino) phenol (BIADPI) was prepared and examined by using element analysis (C.H.N.), UV-Vis., Mass spectrum, 1 H-NMR spectrum and infrared spectra. A sensitive and selective spectrophotometric method is proposed for the rapid determination of iron (III) and chromium(III) using (BIADPI), as spectrophotometer reagent. The reaction between this reagent with chromium (III) and iron (III) is instantaneous at (586,536) nm (λ max ) and pH=(7.5,4) to form perpul complexes having a mole ratio 1 : 2 (metal : ligand) for Cr(III) and Fe(III) the absorbance remains stable for over 24 hours. Beer's law is obeyed in the rang of (1-14) µg.ml -1 and (1-21) µg.ml -1 with molar absorptivity (Є) = (7.768x10 5 , 9.3575x10 5 ) L.mol -1.cm -1 and a detection limit of (0.275-0.14) µg.ml -1 obtained respectively. The precision and accuracy were obtained to be R.S.D%=(0.9-0.467)%,Re%=(99.1-98.2-)% and E rel %= (-1.8 -0.9)%.The method is successfully employed for the determination of iron(III) in Pharmaceutical preparations (Anemia drugs). The most important interferences were due to Ni(II), Zn(II), Co(II), Cd(II), Cu(II) and Hg(II) and suitable masking agents were used.
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.
