Spectrophotometric determination of maneb by ternary complex formation with PAR and CTAB
Abstract:
A rapid, simple, direct, and sensitive method has been developed for the determination of maneb (manganese ethylenebisdithiocarbamate) based on the formation of manganese-4-(2'-pyridylazo) resorcinol complex by a ligand displacement reaction, which is rendered water soluble by a cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) by the formation of an ion association complex. Beer's law is obeyed over the concentration range 0.08-2.4 mug/ml of the final solution at 500 nm in pH range 8-12. The molar absorptivity and Sandell's sensitivity are calculated to be 8.84 x 10(4) l.mol(-1).cm(-1) and 0.003 mug/cm(2), respectively. The developed method has been applied to the determination of maneb in commercial formulations, synthetic mixture, grain samples and vegetables.

Effects of EDTA on End-Point Detection Methods
In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a result, EDTA...
