Description:
A NOVEL REAGENT, CATAL’S REAGENT, AND KIT FOR USING IRON SULPHATE DETERMINATION BY COLORIMETRIC METHOD

TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention relates to a novel reagent called Catal’s reagent and kit for use in the determination of iron (II) sulphate in water systems, wastewater, biological materials, food products, soil samples and synthetic mixtures in the chemical, biochemistry, farming, agriculture and biotechnology industries.

STATE OF ART

Anthraquinones are active organic compounds known for reactions in important research areas such as medical, drug delivery systems, analytical applications, textile industry, materials and tissue engineering. Said compounds are the subject of particular interest due to their biological activities, such as anti-cancer, anti-tumor anti-microbial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory (S.K. Agarwal, 2000; R.K.Goel, 1991 ; N, Abu 2013; E. M. Perchellet, 2000). Anthraquinone compounds are one of the first G-Quadruplex DNA ligands. DNA interaction can be used as a potential transcription factor since they indicate the binding and recognition of the synthesis of DNA binding sites (Hsin et al., 2008; Lown, 1993).

In the state of art applications, there are various studies for the detection of iron (II) salts. For example, starch substrate 10-phenanthrol can be used for colorimetric detection of iron (II) (Gu and Zhou 1996; Choodum et al., 2019). The computer analytical chemistry techniques can be used for the determination of iron concentration in pharmaceutical products (Solana-Altabella et al., 2018). For the determination of spectrophotometric iron (III) by using Bis thiosemicarbazone ligand, (2Z, 2'Z)-2,2'-((4S, 5R)-4,5,6-trihydroxyhexane-1 ,2-diyldene)bis(N- phenylhydrazinecarbotioamide) chemometric methods are available (Rohani Moghadam et al., 2016). Iron (III) in iron (II) samples can be measured spectrophotometrically by using quercetin and morine (Balcerzak et al., 2008). In human serum (Carter 1971 ), bathophenanthroline and triazine are used for colorimetric measurement of iron (II) in fresh water (Peter et al., 1956; Stookey 1970; Vershoor and Molot, 2013). Iron (II) can be oxidized with ceric ammonium sulphate producing ferric thiocyanide colour complex, which is a useful reaction for the determination spectrophotometric iron (II) (Goswami and Kalita, 1988). A flow injection solid phase spectrophotometry is used for the detection of iron by the principle of interaction between iron (II) and 1-(2-thiazolylazo)-2-naphthol (Teixeira and Rocha, 2007). It has been reported that solid phase spectrophotometry can be used to detect 2,3-dichloro-6- (3-carboxy-2-hydroxy-1- naphthylazo) quinoxaline and iron (II) (Amin and Gouda, 2008). Determining iron in fuels such as bioethanol was performed by using the principle of colorimetric reaction between iron (III) and thiocyanide (Joao et al., 2019).

As a result, existing applications are insufficient in solving problems and negatives. This requires an improvement and innovation in the technical field.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In this detailed description, preferred embodiments of the invention are described with respect to a better understanding of the subject matter such that it will not form any limiting effect.

The invention relates to a novel reagent and kit for use in the determination of iron (II) sulfate. Said reagent comprises a thioanthraquinone molecule and is referred to as Catal’s reagent.

In the method of synthesizing said thioanthraquinone molecule, the method described in patent application No TR 2016/19610 is used. Accordingly, first, 1 gram of 1-Chloro anthraquinone and preferably 25 mL of ethylene glycol are mixed in a reaction flask. Then, 0.83 grams of 1- Dodecanethiolare preferably added to the reaction flask and a yellowish reaction mixture is obtained. 10 ml of aqueous potassium hydroxide solution is preferably added to this mixture and the reaction temperature is increased to 110ºC to 120ºC. Preferably, after 48 hours of reflux, a yellow thio anthraquinone molecule (1- (Dodecylthio) anthracene-9,10-dione) is obtained. Figure 5 gives the synthesis reaction of 1-(Dodecylthio)anthracene-9,10-dione. The obtained thio anthraquinone (1 -(Dodecylthio) anthracene-9,10-dione) is preferably extracted with 30 mL of chloroform. The organic phase is washed with water and dried with sodium sulfate. The synthesized thio anthraquinone molecule (1-(Dodecylthio)anthracene-9,10-dione) is purified with the column chromatography. The chemical structure of the thio anthraquinone molecule 1- (Dodecylthio)anthracene-9,10-dione is characterized by spectroscopic methods (FT-IR, NMR, MS, UV).

The synthesized 1-(Dodecylthio)anthracene-9,10-dione is mixed by adding an organic solvent (preferably acetonitrile). At this stage, a solution is obtained by diluting hydrogen peroxide with distilled water. The solution of iron (II) sulfate in distilled water is also prepared. In the subsequent process step, the solution formed by adding organic solvent to 1-(Dodecylthio)anthracene-9,10- dione molecule is mixed with the solution of iron (II) sulfate in distilled water.

The solution diluted with hydrogen peroxide distilled water is added to the solution formed by adding organic solvent to 1 -(Dodecylthio)anthracene-9,10-dione molecule and the new solution obtained by mixing the solution of iron (II) sulphate in distilled water. Therefore, three separate solutions are mixed together. Preferably, 30 mM trisodium citrate dihydrate solution is added to said triple solution. Within the scope of the invention, it is also possible to use other stabilizers instead of trisodium citrate dihydrate. The absorbance of the obtained solution is measured at 304 nM.

The solution obtained by adding an organic solvent to 1 -(Dodecylthio) anthracene-9,10-dione molecule can be applied directly to fabrics, solids and surfaces containing iron (II) sulfate and the surface treated with this solution can be indicated as the presence of iron (II) sulphate qualitatively by the addition of the solution obtained by diluting the hydrogen peroxide with distilled water. In quantitative measurement different concentration ranges and different wavelengths can be used for spectrophotometric or other colorimetric analysis.

The kit developed for the determination of iron (II) sulphate comprises: • The solution obtained by adding organic solvent to 1- (Dodecylthio) anthracene-9,10- dione (Catal’s reagent),

• the solution obtained by diluting the hydrogen peroxide with distilled water,

• trisodium citrate dihydrate or a solution of stabilizer feature,

• the solution of iron (II) sulphate in distilled water.

A reagent is obtained by dissolving the 1-(Dodecylthio)anthracene-9,10-dione molecule preferably in organic solvents. The reagent obtained is called Catal’s reagent. Solvents such as ethanol, methanol and acetonitrile can be used as organic solvents in the invention. In the invention, preferably 20 mg of thio anthraquinone derivative (~ 0.816 mM) is dissolved in 60 mL of solvents, respectively and preferably, said Catal reagent is prepared by dissolving 20 mg of 1- (Dodecylthio)anthracene-9,10-dione in 60 mL of absolute acetonitrile (Merck, USA). Three peaks were observed in the wavelength range of 185 - 700 nm (Figure 2A). All mixtures prepared by mixing 1-(Dodecylthio)anthracene-9,10-dione with any solvent are referred as Catal’s reagent. It is important that the anthraquinone molecule (1-(Dodecylthio)anthracene-9,10-dione) to be used in producing said Catal’s Reagent is pure. For this purpose, in the invention, column chromatography is used according to the purification purposes.

In addition to acetonitrile, the reagent of the invention is also soluble in all organic solvents such as chloroform, dichloromethane, ethylacetate, ethanol and methanol and in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO).

Figure 1 gives the chemical structure of the 1-(Dodecylthio)anthracene-9,10-dione molecule. The molecular weight of yellow, solid molecule is 408.6 g/mol and does not have toxic and carcinogenic feature. The chemical features of said molecule is given in Table 1 .

1 -Dodecanethiol molecule used in the synthesis reaction of 1-(Dodecylthio)anthracene-9,10- dione molecule is a compound from the thiol class. Thiols are biologically very active and their radical ion capturing capacity is known from the scientific studies (Devasagayam et al., 1991). 1- (Dodecylthio)anthracene-9,10-dione molecule synthesized with the synergy formed by both the anthraquinone skeleton and the thiol is a highly active compound.

In one embodiment of the invention, 17.5% H2O2 was prepared from a 35% stock solution of H2O2 by using distilled water (Merck KGaA, Kat. No. 1.08600.1000, Billerica, USA). Serial dilutions of iron (II) sulphate heptahydrate (VWR, Leuven, Belgium) were prepared by using 10 mg mL -1 stock solution in distilled water and 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 mg mL -1 concentrations were prepared by using distilled water. The concentration range was also analyzed at 0.2-1 mg mL -1 . 50 μL Η 2 O 2 çözeltisi (17.5%, ν: ν) was added to the mixture by adding 50 μL of Catal’s reagent to preferably 100 μL of iron (II) sulphate solution. Preferably 9 ml. of trisoduim citrat dihydrate 30 mM, VWR, Lot. No. 16D144103, Leuven, Belgium) was added to the reaction mixture. Absorbances were measured in a wavelength of 304 nM by using a UV-visible spectrophotometer (Shimadzu UV-2600, Cat. No. 206-27600-45, Kyoto, Japan). After the reaction, a single peak (Maximum absorbance, 304 nm) was obtained in the screening performed in a wavelength range of 185 - 700 nm. Figure 2B gives the maximum absorbance value of the reaction mixture formed after triple solution in the wavelength range of 185 nm to 700 nm.

This method can be used in all materials, mixtures, solutions containing iron (II) sulphate and Catal’s reagent, hydrogen peroxide, trisodium citrate dihydrate and sample can be used in different mixing ratios based on the concentration range of iron (II) sulfate in the desired samples.

The absorbance values measured depending on the iron (II) sulfate concentration increased linearly and R 2 values were above 0.9. Figure 3 gives the absorbance of iron (II) sulfate at concentrations of 1 - 10 mg mL 1 (A) and 0.2 - 1 mg mL 1 (B).

Depending on the color change, absorbance values can be stable up to 40 hours. Figure 4 gives the absorbance values of the color change based on iron (II) sulfate heptahydrate - Catal’s reagent reaction at 304 nm based on time.
