Spectroscopic and electrochemical investigation of interactions between metal Cr(VI) and Thiram (Tetramethylthiuram disulfide)

Abstract

Evidences for the presence of interactions between a widely used fungicide called thiram and Cr(VI) ions have been obtained by an electrochemical and spectroscopic approach. The highest absorbance (894 nm) and the peak current (Cyclic Voltammetry) have been detected when the equimolarconcentrated solutions of thiram and Cr(VI) were mixed in the ratio of 2:1. The interactions in the aforementioned mixture were further confirmed by FTIR studies.
