Development and Optimization of Analytical Method for Synergistic Extraction and Spectrophotometric Determination of Cadmium(II) by using 1-(2',4'- dinitroaminophenyl)-4,4,6-trimethyl-1,4-dihydropyrimidine-2-thiol: Analysis of Alloys, Thin Film and Biological Material

A synergistic, simple and selective spectrophotometric method has been developed for 1-(2', 4'dinitroaminophenyl)-4,4,6-trimethyl-1,4-dihydropyrimidine-2-thiol [2', 4'-dinitro APTPT] as a novel chromogenic reagent. The proposed method is based on the synergistic extraction of cadmium(II) with 2', 4'dinitro APTPT (0.01 mol L -1 ) in presence of 0.5 mol L -1 pyridine to give orange red coloured ternary complex of a molar ratio 1:2:2 (M:L:Py) in the pH range 9.3 -9.7. It exhibits a maximum

The system obeys Beer's law in the concentration range 1.0 -12.5 µg mL -1 of cadmium(II) and optimum range of 2.5 -12.5 µg mL -1 of the metal as evaluated by Ringbom's plot. The molar absorptivity and Sandell's sensitivity of cadmium (II) -2', 4'-dinitro APTPT-pyridine complex (1:2:2) was established by Job's method, mole ratio method and slope ratio method. Interference of the foreign ions was investigated and use of suitable masking agent enhances the selectivity of the method. The proposed method is rapid, reproducible and successfully applied for the determination of cadmium(II) in binary and synthetic mixtures, alloys, thin films and tobacco sample. The results of the present study were compared with that of atomic absorption spectrophotometer to test the validity of the method.
