Hydrochlorothiazide is a kind of forbidden medicines for sportsmen.It was observed that hydrochlorothiazide could greatly enhance the chemiluminescence(CL) intensity of tris-(2
2′-bipyridyl)ruthenium(Ⅱ)(Ru(bipy)2+3)-Ce(Ⅳ) system.Based on which
a novel CL method was developed for detecting it.Under the optimum experimental conditions
the linear range and detection limit of the proposed method were 5.0×10-3-2.0 mg/L and 3.07×10-3 mg/L
respectively.The relative standard deviation of determining solutions containing 0.5 mg/L hydrochlorothiazide was 4.4%(n=11).The proposed CL method was applied to detect hydrochlorothiazide in hydrochlorothiazide tables with satisfactory results.
