Water-soluble sulfonate and the novel carboxylate analogues of dithizone, combined with ion interaction chromatography on a Dionex Acclaim 120 C-18 silica column (250x4.6 mm id) with an eluent consisting of 10 mM tetrabutylammonium bromide and 60:40 methanol: water, have been developed as highly sensitive chromogenic ligands for the quantitative isocratic determination of inorganic and organo-mercury compounds in aqueous matrices in under 12 min. Using an optimised post column reagent system containing 0.65 mM dye, 0.5% Triton X-100 and 50 mM sodium hydroxide, good linearity (0-7.5 mg L-1 R-2>0.999), reproducibility using peak area measurements (RSD 0.69-1.38%, n=8), and limits of detection (4-12 mug L-1) were achieved for methyl mercury, inorganic mercury and phenyl mercury.
