Fluorimetric determination of tin and organotin compounds in hydroorganic and micellar media in the presence of 8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonic acid.
The fluorescence of tin(IV) complexed by 8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonic acid (8-HQSA) has been studied in both aqueous and hydroorganic (acetate buffer and dimethylsulfoxide) media. Several experimental parameters such as pH, DMSO/water ratio and reactant concentration have been investigated to increase the fluorescence of the tin(IV)-8-HQSA complex. A linear relationship between tin(IV) concentration and fluorescence intensity was observed between 1.7 and 20 microM). Mechanistic and quantitative studies in the presence of surfactants have been performed. Judiciously selected micellar media permitted solubilisation and quantitation of tin(IV) as well as dibutyltin compounds. A linear relationship between concentration and fluorescence intensity was found for mono-, di- and tributyltin with detection limits of 0.1 microM, 0.7 microM and 1 microM, respectively.
