A large variety of pesticides have been used in the agriculturearea to raise the quality, extend and yield storage life of crops.However, the use of pesticides has been greater than before now a day dueto the growing rapid urbanization and population. The nonstop uses ofthese pesticides have resulted in pollution of the environment and alsocaused risk to human health. For the rapid detection of selective phenthoate pesticides, we developed a simple and highly sensitive spectrophotometric method based on azo-coupling reaction. After a simple pretreatment of phenthoatewith a diazotized solution,the resulting is rapidly undergoing azo-coupling reaction with 4-aminoazobenzene with adramatic color change only in few minutes.Finally, we successfully applied the concentration of phenthoate pesticides on vegetable, fruit, water, and soil samples. In this method, we found the absorption maxima of the orange dye compound was measuredat480nm.ThecolorsystemobeysBeer’slawinthefollowingworkingrangeof5µg to 40 µg in a final solution of 25 mL. The molar absorptivity, Sandell’s sensitivity, standard deviation, and the relative standard deviation was found to be 1.083X107L mol-1 cm-1, 0.99X10-5µg cm-2, ±0.003 and 0.89% respectively. This method is simple, sensitive, andfree from interferences of other pesticides and diverse ions. Other pesticides do not interfere with the proposed method. The method is highly reproducible and has been successfully applied for the determination of phenthoate insecticides in vegetables and fruit samples.

Abstract A modern, accurate, simple and sensitive spectrophotometric procedure is tested for the appreciation of metoclopramide medicine as perspicuous form, as well as in various kinds of pharmaceutical dosages. The procedure depends on the interaction of metoclopramide (MCP) medicine and orcinol reagent by utilizing azo coupling reaction. The orcinol in NaOH solution middle to give a latterly ligand which reacts with copper (II) to output the complex with strong yellow color at 50°C. The resulting complex is water soluble, stable and can be determined spectrophotometrically at wavelength 459 nm. The calibration curve absorbance vs. concentration was established in the concentration range 0.6-12 ppm, and the curve followed the Beer’s law in this range. The procedure precision is given by the average recovery of 99.91% sequentially, as well as by the average relative standard deviation 0.70%, related to the amount of drug. The sensitivity is established at molar absorptivity 1.9044×104 l‧cm-1‧mol-1. The Sandell sensitivity is tested as 0.002 μg/cm2. The analytical results for the tested procedure agree with the official procedure. The interferences from medicine additives were tested.

A novel, simple, rapid, sensitive and selective method has been proposed for the trace determination of thallium by spectrophotometric detection. This method is based on the oxidation of MBTH (3-methyl-2-benzothiazolinone hydrazone hydrochloride) by thallium(III) to form diazonium cation, which couples with IPH (Imipramine hydrochloride) in phosphoric acid medium at room temperature giving a blue colored species having a maximum absorption at 635 nm. The reagents and manifold variables influences on the sensitivity were investigated and the optimum reaction conditions have been established. The calibration curve was found to be linear over the range 0.1-5 μg mL-1with the molar absorptivity and Sandell’s sensitivity of 2.9x104L mol-1cm-1, 0.0071 μg cm-2respectively. The tolerance limit of the method towards various ions usually associated with thallium has been detected. The relative standard deviation for five replicate determination of 2μg mL-1thallium was 0.47%. The method has been successfully applied for the determination of thallium(ІΙΙ) and thallium(I) in synthetic, standard reference materials, water and urine samples with satisfactory results. The performance of the proposed method was evaluated in terms of student’st-test and variance ratioF-test, to find out the significance of proposed method over the reported methods.
