In a pH 9.40 Clark-Lubs buffer solution, Vitamin B6 interacts with Fe3+, forming a coordination complex, increased the fluorescence signal of the reaction system. Based on the coordination reaction between Fe3+ and Vitamin B6, we proposed a novel method for determining Vitamin B6 content. The fluorescence intensity enhancements at 326 nm characteristic wavelength showed a linear relationship with Vitamin B6 concentrations in the range of 0.05-1.85 mg/L, with a correlation coefficient of 0.9966, and a detection limit of 0.0074 mg/L. This method was successfully applied in the determination of Vitamin B6 in tablet formulations. The proposed approach is simple, time-efffcient, cost-effective, and highly sensitive, thus suitable for the content detection of Vitamin B6.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
