Boron determination by a charge transfer spectophotometric method is described. Accompanied the reaction, a charge transfer complex can be formed by lysine with sodium 1, 2-naphthoquinone-4-sulfonate and boron in alkaline solution (pH 12.00). Subsequently, a new reaction mechanism has been proposed and discussed. The absorbance at the maximal absorption wavelength is 574 nm and boron concentration agrees well with Beer's law in a range of 2.16–43.24 μg mL−1. The linear regression equation is A = −0.01867 + 0.01326C (μg mL−1), with a linearly correlation coefficient of 0.9935. The relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) of eleven parallel determinations is 2.1 % with a detection limit (3σ/k) of 2.00 μg mL−1. The recovery ranges from 96.4 % to 104.5 % with the satisfactory results. This method has been successfully applied to determine boron in pharmaceutical samples directly.
