Abstract

Tb(III)-Acetylacetone complex  was prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, UV/Vis, FTIR, 1H-NMR spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy, conductance and magnetism. The results indicated that the complex composition is [Tb(ACAC)2(NO3)(EtOH)2(H2O)2]. The prepared complex was used as optical sensor for hydrochlorothiazide determination in pharmaceutical tablets and biological fluids (serum and urine). The hydrochlorothiazide can remarkably enhance the luminescence intensity of the complex in DMSO at λex/em = 285/545 nm and pH 6.3. The dynamic ranges found for the determination of hydrochlorothiazide concentration are 3.6 x 10-9 to 4.0 x 10-6 mol L-1, and the limit of detection (LOD) and quantitation limit of detection (LOQ) are 1.3 ×10−9 and 4.2 x 10-9 mol L-1, respectively.
