Abstract: The sensitivity and selectivity of some elements can be increased by organic reagents in theatomic absorption spectrophotometry. The effect of sulfo-group in the organic molecule of reagents on flame atomization of metal elements has not been reported. In the present paper, the effect of sulfo-group on the atomic absorption spectr9photometric behavior of ytterbium is studied in an air-acetylene flame. The results obtained indicate that there are a marked enhancement effect for organic reagents with sulfo-group in spite of the fact that there is or not bonding atom, and the bonding atom is nitrogen or/and oxygen. The number of sulfo-group affects the degree of sensibilization, and their relative position has not the influence basically. The mechanism of the enhancement effect of sulfo-group is also discussed.
