Probing the Mechanism of Micellar Sensitization of Photometric Analysis

  • Chapter

Abstract

The absorption spectroscopy of the surfactant-sensitized Chrome Azural S (CAS) complex of beryllium has been examined in detail, in order to ascertain its sensitivity to various solution parameters (preliminary to an investigation of the fundamental sensitization mechanism). Surprisingly, sensitization was observed with at least one anionic surfactant (sodium dodecyl sulfate) and one nonionic surfactant (dimethyloctynediol) in addition to the effects expected for cationic surfactants (benzyldimethyl-hexadecylammonium chloride and cetyItrimethylammonium bromide). However, sensitization was not observed with three other nonionic surfactants (3,5-dimethyl-l-hexyn-3-ol, 3-hydroxy-l-propanesulfonic acid γ-sultone, and polyvinyl alcohol), even though sensitization has been reported elsewhere for one of these (PVA).
