title: [Determination of iron(III) in Chinese herbal medicine and tea based on fluorescence quenching of 2,4-dichro-phenylfluorone].
abstract: A new spectrofluorimetric method for the determination of trace amount of Fe(III) has been developed. This method is based on the fluorescence quenching of 2,4-dichro-phenylfluorone due to the formation of complex Fe(III)-DCIPF. In pH 5.2-5.9 buffer solution, Fe (III) and DCIPF react on each other to form a red complex. Its composition was established by method of continuous variations and molar-ratio as Fe(III): DCIPF = 1:4, the excitation and emission wavelengths were found to be 282 and 560 nm, respectively. There is a linear relationship in the range 4-24 ng x mL(-1) for Fe(III). This method is simple and rapid, and has been applied to the determination of trace iron in Chinese herbal medicine and tea samples with satisfactory results.
