RESUMO
Four azo dyes known to form anionic complexes with V(V) were investigated as potential liquid-liquid extraction-spectrophotometric reagents for the antihistamine medication hydroxyzine hydrochloride (HZH). A stable ion-association complex suitable for analytical purposes was obtained with 6-hexyl-4-(2-thiazolylazo)resorcinol (HTAR). The molar absorption coefficient, limit of detection, linear working range, and relative standard deviation in the analysis of real pharmaceutical samples (tablets and syrup) were 3.50 × 104 L mol-1 cm-1, 0.13 µg mL-1, 0.43-12.2 µg mL-1, and ≤2.7%, respectively. After elucidating the molar ratio in the extracted ion-association complex (HZH:V = 1:1), the ground-state equilibrium geometries of the two constituent ions-HZH+ and [VO2(HTAR)]--were optimized at the B3LYP level of theory using 6-311++G** basis functions. The cation and anion were then paired in four different ways to find the most likely structure of the extracted species. In the lowest-energy structure, the VO2 group interacts predominantly with the heterochain of the cation. A hydrogen bond is present (V-O···H-O; 1.714 Å) involving the terminal oxygen of this chain.

A novel chromogenic system for the liquid-liquid extraction and determination of trace amounts of tungsten(VI) was investigated. The system comprises 4-nitrocatechol (4NC) as a chromogenic reagent, sulfuric acid as a complexing medium, and benzalkonium chloride (BAC) as a source of bulky cations (BA+), which readily form chloroform-extractable ion-association complexes. The impact of foreign ions and reagents was studied, and the optimal conditions for the sensitive, selective, and inexpensive determination of tungsten(VI) were identified. The limit of detection, linear working range, and molar absorptivity at lmax (422 nm) were determined to be 31 ng cm-3, 0.1-4.4 µg cm-3, and 5.49 × 104 dm3 mol-1 cm-1, respectively. The composition of the extracted complex was 1:2:2 (W:4NC:BA). Two potential structures of its anionic component, [WO2(4NC)2]2-, were discussed based on optimizations at the B3LYP/CEP-4G theoretical level and comparison between theoretical and experimental spectra.
RESUMO
The complex formation in the vanadium(V)/4-(2-thiazolylazo)orcinol (TAO)/2,3,5-triphenyl-2H-tetrazolium chloride (TTC) liquid-liquid extraction-chromogenic system was studied. The chloroform-extracted complex has a composition of 2:2:2 under the optimum conditions (pH 4.8-5.2, extraction time 3 min, concentration of TAO 3.4 × 10(-4) mol dm(-3), and concentration of TTC 9.4 × 10(-4) mol dm(-3)) and could be regarded as a dimer (D) of two 1:1:1 species (S) presented by the formula (TT+)[VO2(TAO)]. The constant of extraction was calculated by two methods and some analytical characteristics were determined. The wavelength of maximum absorption (λmax), molar absorptivity (ελ) and fraction extracted (E) were found to be λ = 545 nm, ε545 = 1.97 × 10(4) dm(3) mol(-1) cm(-1), and E = 97.9%. The ground-state equilibrium geometries of the complexes S and D were optimized by quantum chemical Hartree-Fock calculations using 3-21G* basis functions. The bonding and interaction energies were calculated as well.
