    Abstract:
    The reactions of 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan (NBD-Cl) with glyphosate (GLY) and with its main metabolite, aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA), have been studied. The resolution of binary mixtures of glyphosate and aminomethylphosphonic acid has been accomplished by partial least squares (PLS) multivariate calibration. The method of determination is based on the fluorescence emission of the derivatives formed in presence of NBD-Cl at 90 degrees C, in methanol and in basic medium. The dynamic ranges of the methods were comprised between 10 and 150mugl(-1) for GLY and between 10 and 200mugl(-1) for AMPA, being the detection limits 2 and 5.4mugl(-1) for GLY and AMPA, respectively. The total luminiscence information of the derivatives has been used to optimize the spectral data set to perform the calibration, by analysis of the three-dimensional excitation-emission matrices. A comparison between the predictive ability of the multivariate calibration method, partial least squares type 1 (PLS-1), on two spectral data sets, emission and synchronous spectra, has been performed. The PLS-1 method, applied to the emission spectra, has been selected as optimum. The proposed method has been applied to the simultaneous determination of GLY and AMPA in river water. For concentrations ranging from 100 to 600mugl(-1) of each compound in the samples, analytical recoveries range from 83 to 94% for GLY and from 104 to 120% for AMPA.
