“…The quantitative detection of magnesium ions is an important need that requires quick, sensitive, selective, and reliable methodologies. Several methodologies have been published for magnesium detection in different environmental samples, these includes X-ray atomic spectrometric methods, [5] electrochemical methodologies, [6] atomic absorption spectroscopic methods, [7] flame atomic absorption spectrometric methods, [8] ion-selective electrode methods, [9] derivative spectrophotometric methods, [10] high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), [11] nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), [12] colorimetric methods, [13] graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometric methods [14] and fluorescence methods. [15] In addition a few methodologies have been published for the determination of magnesium in different pharmaceutical samples, for example electrochemical methodologies, [16] atomic absorption spectroscopic methods, [17,18] flame atomic absorption spectrometric methods, [19,20] ion-selective electrode methods, [21] derivative spectrophotometric methods, [10] HPLC, [22] and colorimetric methods.…”
