Cover Story: A new approach to developing extraction-free spectrophotometric methods using the formation of ion-association complexes (IACs) has been proposed. It is based on the competitive reaction of cationic polyacrylamide polymer (CPAA) or the protonated form of a nitrogen-containing compound with an anionic dye. In the new “off-on” sensor system, bromocresol purple (BCP) interacts with CPAA to form IACs. In the pH range of 3.5 to 5.5, this leads to an increase in the intensity of the dianionic form of BCP at 590 nm and a shift in its pKa2 from 6.3 to 3.75. Loratadine (LOR) forms a strong IAC with the monoanionic form of BCP, which results in an increase in the absorption of the band at 432 nm. This simple method provides rapid and reliable determination of LOR with a detection limit of 1.6 mg L−1 and a linear range from 5.0 to 120 mg L−1. View this paper
