Abstract Salbutamol sulfate was coordinated with Cu2+ when pH was 10, and the characteristic absorption peak of the complex was generated at 334 nm. The absorption intensity of the complex was in linear relation with the concentration of salbutamol sulfate.

It was used for the determination of salbutamol sulfate samples successfully. The recovery rate was 100.5%-103.0%, and the RSD was 1.5%.

Salbutamol sulfate is mainly used for respiratory diseases such as bronchial asthma or asthmatic bronchitis with bronchospasm. At present, the methods for determining the content of salbutamol sulfate mainly include high performance liquid chromatography[1-4], fluorescence spectrophotometry[5-6], flow injection chemiluminescence[7-8], tetrachloroquinone colorimetry, dynamically modified chromatography[9], Emerson reagent photometry[10] and capillary electrophoresisnoncontact conductivity detection method[11]. Each of these methods has its own advantages and disadvantages. High performance liquid chromatography has high sensitivity and stability, but the instrument is expensive. Fluorescence spectrophotometry, Emerson reagent photometry and capillary electrophoresisnoncontact conductivity detection method are simple in operation and strong in specificity, but the sensitivity is not high. The flow injection chemiluminescence method is simple in instrument, but the selectivity is not good. The tetrachloroquinone colorimetry is simple in operation and low in cost, but the accuracy is low.
Since the salbutamol sulfate molecule contains elements O and N with lone pair of electrons, which can coordinate with metal ions to form a cyclic complex. The content of salbutamol sulfate can be determined indirectly by measuring the absorption intensity of the Cu2+salbutamol sulfate complex by the UVVIS method. Experimental Materials

Experimental Methods and Results
Experimental methods
Certain amounts of 1.00×10-3 mol/L salbutamol sulfate standard solution, 1.00×10-3 mol/L CuSO4·5H2O solution and ammoniaammonium chloride buffer with pH=10 were accurately pipetted to a 10 ml volumetric flask, and the obtained solution was diluted to the mark line with distilled water, shaken, heated at 50 ℃ for 10 min, and cooled to room temperature. The absorbance A of the test solution was measured at a wavelength of 334 nm using a blank reagent as a reference.
Screening of metal ions for complexing
In order to investigate the complexation of salbutamol sulfate with metal ions, a certain amount of 1.00×10-3 mol/L salbutamol sulfate standard solution was accurately transferred. Cu2+, Al3+, Ca2+, Cd3+, Ni2+ and Fe3+ were added, respectively, under the same condition.
The experiments showed that the complexation of salbutamol sulfate with Cu2+ was better, and there was no obvious characteristic absorption with Ni2+. Other metal ions can form certain characteristic absorption with salbutamol sulfate, but the absorption was weak and the sensitivity was low. Therefore, Cu2+ was chosen for research. Absorption spectrum
With distilled water as a reference, the absorption spectra of different solutions were determined (Fig. 1). The results showed that at λ=334 nm, curve 1 had obvious characteristic absorption peaks, while curves 2 and 3 had no obvious absorption, indicating that salbutamol sulfate formed a new complex with Cu2+. Fig. 2 shows the absorption spectra of different concentrations of complexes. It can be seen from the figure that with other conditions fixed, the absorption intensity of the complex increased with the concentration of salbutamol sulfate at λ=334 nm.

Discussion
Optimization of solution pH
The absorbance of the complex at different pH was investigated. Certain amounts of 1.00×10-3 mol/L salbutamol sulfate standard solution (4.00 ml) and 1.00×10-3 mol/L Cu2+ (2.00 ml) were accurately transferred to 10 ml volumetric flasks, and the pH values were adjusted with 0.1 mol/L hydrochloric acid solution and 0.1 mol/L sodium hydroxide solution, respectively. According to "Experiment methods", the results showed that when pH<7, there was almost no obvious characteristic absorption; when pH=7, the complex had certain characteristic absorption at λ=334 nm, but the absorbance was lower; when pH>7 , the absorbance of the complex increased with the concentration of salbutamol sulfate increasing; when pH=10, the peak shape of the complex was stable, and the absorbance was the largest and stable; and when pH>10, the complex absorption decreased. Therefore, pH=10 was chosen.
Certain amounts of 1.00×10-3 mol/L salbutamol sulfate standard solution (4.00 ml) and 1.00×10-3 mol/L Cu2+ (2.00 ml) were accurately transferred to 10 ml volumetric flasks, and different amounts of ammoniaammonium chloride buffer with pH=10 were added into the volumetric flasks, respectively. The results showed that when Vbuffer<0.10 ml, the absorbance of the complex increased with the increase of the buffer amount, and the buffer capacity was not strong due to insufficient buffer amount; when Vbuffer=0.10 ml, the absorbance value was the largest; and when Vbuffer>0.10 ml, the absorbance of the complex decreased, which might be due to the buffer amount was excessive, and the excess buffer solution and salbutamol sulfate competed for Cu2+ , resulting in a decrease in Cu2+ reacted with salbutamol sulfate. Therefore, in this experiment, 0.10 ml of ammoniaammonium chloride buffer solution with pH=10 was used to adjust the pH value. Effect of reaction temperature
Multiple solutions were prepared in parallel according to the experimental method. The prepared solutions were placed in water baths at different temperatures, respectively, rapidly cooled to room temperature and immediately measured. The results showed that when T<50 ℃, the absorbance of the complex increased with the increase of T; when T=50 ℃, the absorbance of the complex was the largest and stable, and the peak shape was better; and when T>50 ℃, it might be because of the toohigh temperature, the complex decomposed, and the peak shape deteriorated. In summary, the reaction temperature was chosen to be 50 ℃.
Optimization on addition sequence of reagents
According to "Experiment methods", with amounts of various reagents fixed, their addition sequence were set as: ① salbutamol sulfate standard solution, ammoniaammonium chloride buffer solution, Cu2+ solution, ② salbutamol sulfate standard solution, Cu2+ solution, ammoniaammonium chloride buffer liquid, and ③ Cu2+ solution, ammoniaammonium chloride buffer, salbutamol sulfate standard solution. The strength A of each complex was measured, and their values ranked from large to small as: ①>③>②. Therefore, the three solutions could be added following the order of salbutamol sulfate standard solution, ammoniaammonium chloride buffer and Cu2+ solution.
Interference test
When determining the content of salbutamol sulfate, the effects of other interfering substances must be considered. Under the above optimized conditions, the same concentration of salbutamol sulfate solution was measured. The relative error was of ±5%, and the coexisting substances in Table 3 did not affect the measurement. The results showed that magnesium stearate, dextrin and lactose had less interference to the complexation reaction, but glucose, CMCNa and starch had a greater interference with the experimental determination. The salbutamol sulfate preparation contained no glucose and CMCNa, and starch can be removed by filtration, so there is no interference to the experiment.
Discussion on reaction mechanism
The structural formula of salbutamol sulfate is shown in Fig. 3. The hydroxyl group O atom and the amino group N atom on the molecule both contain a lone pair of electrons, which can coordinate with Cu2+ to form a complex. The structural formula of the complex is shown in Fig. 4.
Conclusions
In this study, the content of salbutamol sulfate is determined by molecular spectroscopy using Cu2+ as a medium. The content of salbutamol sulfate was determined indirectly by measuring the absorption intensity of Cu2+salbutamol sulfate complex. The method is efficient, environmentally friendly and low in consumption, and can be used for the determination of salbutamol sulfate with good accuracy and reproducibility.
