Popis: An equimolar mixture of zirconium(IV) and Semi-Xylenol Orange (SXO) reacts rapidly with fluoride ion at pH2 to cause an increase in absorbance at about 530 nm. The calibration graph was linear up to 1 × 10–5 mol dm–3. In a flow injection system, a detection limit (signal-to-noise ratio = 3) of 2.5 × 10–7 mol dm–3 was obtained with a sample throughout of 60 h–1. Potentiometric studies of this reaction system with a fluoride ion-selective electrode demonstrated that an increase in absorbance can be ascribed to the coordination of the phenolic oxygen of SXO on the reaction of a partly hydrolysed Zr–SXO complex with fluoride ion to give the mixed ligand complex.
