A new class of monocrystalline diamond paste-based electrodes is proposed for the determination of chromium(III) at trace levels in vitamins. Three types of monocrystalline diamond-natural diamond 1mu (natural diamond), synthetic diamond 50mu (synthetic-1), and synthetic diamond 1mu (synthetic-2)-were used for electrode construction. The linear concentration ranges are between 10(-10) and 10(-8); 10(-9) and 10(-7), and 10(-10) to 10(-8) mol L(-1), with limits of detection of 10(-12), 10(-12), and 10(-11) mol L(-1), when natural diamond, synthetic-1, and synthetic-2, respectively, are used as electrode materials. For electrodes based on natural diamond and synthetic-1 it was found that Cr(III) yields a peak at about +0.275+/-0.015 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) within a predetermined positive potential range situated between +0.4 and +0.2 V, while for the electrode based on synthetic-2 the peaks are found at +0.300+/-0.015 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). The proposed method is reliable for the determination of chromium(III) at trace levels in two vitamin tablets (RSD<0.2%).
Chromium(V) glutathione complexes are among the likely reactive intermediates in Cr(VI)-induced genotoxicity and carcinogenicity. The first definitive structure of one such complex, [Cr(V)O(LH(2))(2)](3)(-) (I; LH(5) = glutathione = GSH), isolated from the reaction of Cr(VI) with excess GSH at pH 7.0 (O'Brien, P.; Pratt, J.; Swanson, F. J.; Thornton, P.; Wang, G. Inorg. Chim. Acta 1990, 169, 265-269), has been determined by a combination of electrospray mass spectrometry (ESMS), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), EPR spectroscopy, and analytical techniques. In addition, Cr(V) complexes of GSH ethyl ester (gamma-Glu-Cys-GlyOEt) have been isolated and characterized by ESMS, and Cr(III) products of the Cr(VI) + GSH reaction have been isolated and characterized by ESMS and XAS. The thiolato and amido groups of the Cys residue in GSH are responsible for the Cr(V) binding in I. The Cr-ligand bond lengths, determined from multiple-scattering XAFS analysis, are as follows: 1.61 A for the oxo donor; 1.99 A for the amido donors; and 2.31 A for the thiolato donors. A significant electron withdrawal from the thiolato groups to Cr(V) in I was evident from the XANES spectra. Rapid decomposition of I in aqueous solutions (pH = 1-13) occurs predominantly by ligand oxidation with the formation of Cr(III) complexes of GSH and GSSG. Maximal half-lives of the Cr(V) species (40-50 s at [Cr] = 1.0 mM and 25 degrees C) are observed at pH 7.5-8.0. The experimental data are in conflict with a recent communication (Gaggelli, E.; Berti, F.; Gaggelli, N.; Maccotta, A.; Valensin, G. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2001, 123, 8858-8859) on the formation of a Cr(V) dimer as a major product of the Cr(VI) + GSH reaction, which may have resulted from misinterpretation of the ESMS and NMR spectroscopic data.
We present a method for the speciation of chromium by capillary electrophoresis. Cr(III) was complexed with diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) to form a negatively charged complex. Using 20 mM phosphate buffer of pH 8 containing 0.5 mM tetradecyltrimethylammonium hydroxide (TTAOH) at a separation voltage of -15 kV, both forms of chromium CrDTPA(2-) and CrO(4) (2-) were separated in less than 6 min. Direct UV detection at 214 nm was used. The effect of the presence of interfering ions was investigated. The application of the developed method to speciation of chromium in tanning liquor is demonstrated. The obtained results have shown a good correlation with those of flame atomic absorbance spectrometry (FAAS), inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and UV/VIS spectrophotometry.
