ABSTRACT
In the title compound, [KGd(C(10)H(2)O(8))(H(2)O)(2)](n), the Gd(3+) ion is nine-coordinated by eight O atoms from five individual benzene-1,2,4,5-tetra-carboxyl-ate (btec) ligands and one water mol-ecule, and the K(+) ion is eight-coordinated by six O atoms from five individual btec ligands and two water mol-ecules. In the crystal, the btec half-mol-ecules are completed by crystallographic inversion symmetry. GdO(9) and KO(8) polyhedra are connected, forming layers in the ab plane, which are further inter-connected by µ(8)- or µ(12)-bridging btec ligands, forming a three-dimensional structure.
ABSTRACT
A method is reported for the determination of trace bismuth in traditional chinese medicine by hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry. The effect of different means of digestion, the medium amounts of acid and reducing agent on the determination of Bi is investigated. In the given conditions, the linear range of determination is 0.1-200 microg x L(-1), and the detection limit is 0.0946 microg x L(-1). The instrumental relative standard deviation is about 0.55% and the recovery is about 94%-107%. The method is accurate, rapid and convenient with satisfactory results.

A hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry method has been developed for the determination of trace lead in traditional Chinese medicines. A high pressure digestion using HNO3-H2O2 system was applied for the pretreatment of traditional Chinese medicine samples and the interval flow precedure was used. The experimental conditions and instrumental operating parameters such as KBH4 concentration, flow rates of carrier and shield gases, current of the lamp and height of the atomizer, have been optimized. Under the optimum conditions the detection limit is 0.08 microg x L(-1). The relative standard deviation is 0.34%. This method is simple, rapid and sensitive, so it can be successfully used for the determination of lead in traditional Chinese medicines.

A hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry method has been developed for the determination of trace mercury in traditional Chinese medicines. A high-pressure digestion using HNO3-H2O2 system was applied to the pretreatment of traditional Chinese medicine samples and an interval flow precedure was used. The experimental conditions and instrumental operation parameters such as KBH4 concentration, flow rates of carrier and shield gases, currents of lamp and height of atomic oven, which affect the determination, have been optimized respectively as 0.05%, 400 and 800 mL x min(-1), 20 mA and 6 mm. Under the optimum conditions, there is a linear relationship between the fluorescence intensity and the mercury concentration with correlation coefficient of 0.9999, while the detection limit is 0.021 microg x L(-1). Trace mercury in the standard reference substance peach leaf (GBW08501, produced by the Environmental Science Committee of Chinese Scientific Institute) was also determinated in this way and the results of six times were in good agreement with the certified value, with a variation coefficient not more than 0.34%. This method is simple, rapid, sensitive, convinent and accurate, so it can be successfully used for the determination of trace mercury in traditional Chinese medi-
