Fluorimetric Method for the Determination of Trace Amounts of Molybdenum Using 2-Hydroxy-1-Naphthaldehydene-p-Aminotoluene

Abstract:

A new fluorescent reagent, 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehydene-p-aminotoluene, was synthesized. The fluorescent reaction of this reagent with molybdenum was studied. Based on this chelation, a highly sensitive spectrofluorimetric method was developed for determination of trace amounts of molybdenum in a water-ethanol medium at pH 6.8. Under these conditions, the Mo-HNA complex has excitation and emission maxima at 300 and 380 nm, respectively. The linear range of the method is 0-2μg/L and the detection limit is 0.62μg/L. Interference of other ions was studied. It is necessary to remove the interfering cations through cation exchange. The procedure can be carried out easily and affords good precision and accuracy. This method has been successfully applied to the determination of molybdenum in pig liver and mussels.
