The cobalt (III) complex mobile phase has two absorption bands in the region 300-600 nm. A dd transition band maximum is at 498 nm with molar absorptivity, E= 148 1 mall’cm-i. Another band centered at 324 nm (E= 3940 1 mol-’cm-‘) corresponds to the n-+ rc* transition of coordinated acetylacetonate anion. Below 300 nm, an envelop of even stronger absorptions due to probably rt+ rc* and n-+ n* transitions is also present. Small and Miller* have shown that the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio for indirect photometric detection is: where C, and C, are the respective concentrations of sample and eluent, A, and A, are the molar absorptivities of sample and eluent, respectively, and N, is a constant, referring to a random noise fluctuation. For a transparent ion, A,= 0, eqn. 1 becomes: s cs-“N, c. N(2)This means that giving C, and N, as constants, the S/N ratio will increase as C, decreases. On the other hand, if G/C, is kept constant, the N, factor should vary with the instrument, the eluent, and the wavelength chosen for the experiment. In our present study, the S/N ratio is in general much better when 254 nm is chosen because the molar absorptivity at 254 nm for the cobalt (II1) complex is much greater than those at 324 nm and 498 nm. Similarly, when a Micromeritics 786 variablewavelength detector with a deuterium lamp was used to replace the Waters fixedwavelength detector with a tungsten lamp at 254 nm, the S/N ratio drops. Fig. la and b show the separation of the same mixture of Mg2+ and Ca*+ ions at a ppb concentration level with two different [Co (en),(acac)].(NO,)* eluent concentrations; ie, 6.25. 10e5 M and 3.13. 10e5 M, respectively. Although the eluent concentration is reduced to 3.13. 10m5 M for the operation of Fig. lb; ie, 50% of that for Fig. la, the S/N ratios for Fig. lb data do not increase as predicted using eqn. 2. Instead, they actually decrease a little as compared to Fig. la. This indicates that the N, factor in eqns. 1 and 2 is dependent upon not only a number of other factors such as instrument and eluent but also the eluent concentration. This is a subject currently under study in our laboratory. On the other hand, with these S/N ratio values, the detection limits can be estimated to be about 10 ppb for both Mg*+ and Ca2+ ions for the present investigation. It is possible to use a substitution-inert complex that absorbs at different wavelengths for specific applications. In the present case, if the sample solution contains a lot of UV-absorbing species, the wavelength of 324 nm or 498 nm may be chosen
