Abstract
Organometallic compounds find wide applications such as in catalyses, syntheses, and also in biochemistry. Some of them can be used for the analysis of trace quantities of organic compounds which are regarded as toxic to human beings. Many pesticides have very low lethal dose (LD50) which could be fatal to humans, even in small quantities. The traces of many pesticides are being reported to be present in vegetables, fruits, and even in processed foods. Monocrotophos is one such pesticide which is approved for use in India and has caused many suicidal and accidental poisoning cases. Thus, a simple and sensitive method was necessary for its detection. We, in this study, reveal the application of sodium nitroprusside for the analysis of monocrotophos using a novel reaction with simple, cost-effective, but fast and reliable thin-layer chromatography technique.
