Abstract: Ahighly sensitive colour reagent bromodimethylaminoaniline-fluorone (BDMAF) was synthesized and identified. The colour reaction of BDMAFwith iron in the presence of auxiliary complexing ligands and surfactants was studied systematically. The blue quaternary complex of Fe-acetylacetone-BDMAF-CTMABexhibits absorption maximum at 608 nm with an apparent molar absorptivity of 1 .6 × 105 L.mol-1 .cm-1 in the medium of NH3-NH4C1 buffer of pH 9.5~10.5. Its apparent stability constant is 6.8×1012. Beer's law is obeyed for iron of 0~5.5 mg/25 L. The composition of this complex was found to be Fe( Ⅲ):BDMAF = 1:2. The method has a high selectivity in the presence of 'EGTA, it has been applied to the determination of trace amounts of Fe3+ in zinc alloys without separation. The variation coefficients are 3.2%~3.9% for the four standard samples of zinc alloys measured (7 times).
