Resonance Rayleigh scattering spectrum for the chelate of lanthanum(Ⅲ) with sodium tanshinon ⅡA silate and its analytical application

In a pH 3.6―5.0 HAc-NaAc buffer solution, when sodium tanshinon ⅡA silate (STSⅡA) reacts with La(Ⅲ) to form a chelate, the resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) intensity can be en-hanced greatly and a new RRS spectrum will appear. The maximum RRS peak is located at 306 nm and the RRS intensity is proportional to the concentration of STSⅡA in a certain range. The method is very sensitive and the detection limit for STSⅡA (3σ/K) is 82.12 ng·mL?1. The optimum reaction condi-tions and the effect of coexisting substances have been investigated. A new, simple and fast method for the determination of STSⅡA based on RRS method is developed. It can be applied to the deter-mination of STSⅡA in the synthesis samples and Nuoxinkang injection. Combined with infrared ab-sorption and NMR spectra, the structure of the chelate and the reasons of RRS enhancement are also discussed.
