Spectrophotometric Determination of Trimipramine Using Cerium(IV) Sulphate(VI) and Potassium Iodate(VII)

Abstract

Simple and sensitive methods are proposed for the determination of trimipramine. The methods are based on the oxidation of trimipramine by cerium(IV) sulphate and potassium iodate(VII). The reactions are followed spectrophotometrically by measuring the absorbance of the coloured products at λ = 620 nm and 670 nm, respectively.

Key Words:

• Spectrophotometry
