Abstract

The fluoride-ion selective micro-determination of fluorine in organic materials after closed flask combustion is an established technique. Interferences, due to complexation of the fluoride ion can occur, if the sample contains boron or fluorborate ion. This paper describes a method that avoids complexation of fluoride by combustion in a hydrogen-oxygen flame and absorption of the resulting H2F2 in alkali hydroxide solution. By this method, samples can be analyzed for fluorine without interference by boron. Some results of the analysis of pharmaceutical materials are given.
