Spectrophotometric determination of ketoprofen in pharmaceutical preparations by means of charge transfer complex formation.

A spectrophotometric determination of ketoprofen based upon oxime formation followed by charge transfer complexation with o-chloranil has been developed. Different variables affecting the complexation process have been studied. Beer's law is obeyed in the concentration range 10-80 microg/ml. The method has been successfully applied to the determination of ketoprofen in pure form and in pharmaceutical dosage forms in the presence of its impurities.

Utilization of charge-transfer complexation in the spectrophotometric determination of some monosaccharides through their osazone intermediates.

Monosaccharide osazones are utilized in the spectrophotometric determination of their parent compounds though charge-transfer complexation with two-electron acceptor reagents. The molar combining ratio and the optimum complexation conditions have been studied. The method has been used to analyse for glucose and fructose and in determining blood glucose.
