Abstract: The synthesis and spectrophotometric properties of 2-(6-methyl-2-benzothiazolylazo)-5-diethylamino phenol (MBTAE), and the use of it as a precolumn derivatizing reagent to separate Co(Ⅱ), Ni(Ⅱ), Rh(Ⅲ) and Ir( Ⅳ) complexes by HPLCare discussed. When the mobile phase consists of methanol/water(90/10Ⅴ/Ⅴ), acetate buffer with pH 4.0 and 5×10-5mol/L EDTAsolution, the four complexes Can be separated within9 min on ODScolumn. The detection limits (20 μLsample size) are 0.059 ppb, 0.062 ppb, 0.053 ppb and 0. 049 ppb for Co(Ⅱ), Rh(Ⅲ), Ni(Ⅱ) and lr(Ⅳ) respectively at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3.
