Jamaluddin AHMED, Uttam Kumer ROY Laboratory of Analytical Chemistry, Department of Chemistry University of Chittagong, Chittagong-BANGLADESH e-mail: pmjahmed55@ Received 13.02.2008 An ultra-sensitive and highly selective non-extractive spectrophotometric method is presented for the rapid determination of iron(II) at trace levels using 2 , 3, 4 , 5, 7-Pentahydroxyflavone (morin) as a new spectrophotometric reagent in slightly acidic solution (0.0001-0.0002 M H 2 SO 4 ). The reaction is instantaneous and absorbance remains stable for over 24 h ( λmax = 415 nm). The molar absorptivity was found to be 6.85 × 104 L mol −1 cm −1 . Linear calibration graphs were obtained for 0.01-10 μ g mL −1 of Fe II . The stoichiometric composition of the chelate is 1:2 (Fe:morin). Large excesses of over 50 cations, anions, a
