A = 0.0137C + 0.0057(o-Phen)

A = 0.0114C + 0.00406(DPRL)

A = 0.0245C – 0.00032(TPTZ)

with a correlation coefficient r=0.9999, r=1.0000 and 0.9998 respectively. On the other hand, the respective molar absorptivity (s) and Sandell’s sensitivity (Ss), both referred to URSA analysed, are calculated as: loge=3.80; Ss=72.4 ng.cm^-2; logε=3.72; Ss=87.0 ng.cm^-2 and logε=4.05; Ss=40.7 ng.cm^-2. The accuracy and the precision, as well as the confidence limits of the proposed new analytical method, experimentally tested, could be considered as very satisfactory.
