A micell-mediated phase separation method for preconcentration of ultra-trace quantities of mercury as a prior step to its determination by UV-Vis spectrophotometry has been developed. The method is based on Hg(II)-dithizone complex formation in alkaline aqueous solution, and extraction of this Hg(II)-dithizone secondary complex into the surfactant-rich phase of the non-ionic surfactant oct...

magnesium is extracted with a chloroform solution of n-p-tolyl-2- thenohydroxamic acid (pttha) from aqueous solution of ph 9.5 .mg-pttha complex is colourless and the colour is developed by adding quinalizarin into the extract. lmax and e of the complex are 590nm and 2.8´103 lmol -1cm-1respectively.most common  ions do not interfere in the determination of magnesium. the spectral characteristic...

Introduction: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have shown enormous potential in neuroscience. Nerve growth factor (NGF)-CNTs complex promotes the neuronal growth, however, the underlying mechanism(s) have remained elusive. Based on the interplay between NGF and the endocannabinoid system, involvement of the neuroprotective endocannabinoid, 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG), was investigated in the mechanis...

a complexometric method for the determination of titanium in the presence of other metal ions based on the selective masking ability of 5-sulphosalicylic acid towards titanium is described. titanium (iv) present in a given sample solution is complexed with a known excess of edta and surplus edta is titrated against zinc sulphate solution at ph 5-6 using xylenol orange as the indicator. a known ...
