Investigation on Ruthenium(II) Bipyridine/AgIII Complexes Chemiluminescence System and Its Application for Sensitive Norfloxacin and Ofloxacin Detection

The reaction mechanism of AgIII complex ([Ag(HIO6)2]5–) with ruthenium(II) bipyridine (Ru(bpy)32+) in acid medium was investigated. A novel flow injection chemiluminescence (CL) analysis method was developed for the detection of norfloxacin (NFLX) and ofloxacin (OFLX) in commercial drug, milk and human urine samples based on AgIII-ruthenium(II) bipyridine in acidic solution. Under optimal conditions, CL intensities were proportional to drug concentrations in the range of 1.6 × 10-9 to 8 × 10-6 g mL-1 for NFLX and 1.0 × 10-9 to 4 × 10-6 g mL-1 for OFLX. The detection limit was 1.0 × 10-9 g mL-1 for NFLX and 0.8 × 10-9 g mL-1 for OFLX. On the basis of the CL, UV and fluorescence spectra, possible reaction mechanisms were proposed.
