Description
Summary:The complexing reagent 2-thiophenaldehyde-4-phenyl-3-thiosemicarbazone (TAPT) was examined for high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) separations of cobalt(II), copper(II) and iron(II) or cobalt(II), nickel(II), iron(II), copper(II) and mercury(II) as metal chelates on a Microsorb C-18, 5-μm column (150×4.6 mm i.d.) (Rainin Instruments Woburn, MA, USA). The complexes were eluted isocratically with methanol:acetonitrile:water containing sodium acetate and tetrabutyl ammonium bromide (TBA). UV detection was at 254 nm. The solvent extraction procedure was developed for simultaneous determination of the metals, with detection limits within 0.5–2.5 μg ml −1 in the final solution. The method was applied for the determination of copper, cobalt and iron in pharmaceutical preparation.
