Abstract: Separation and determination of Fe(III) and Mn(II) was performed by ligand-exchange reversed phase high performance  liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) with mobile phase containing 2,2َ-diamino-4,4΄–bithiazole (DABTZ) as a ligand. The resolution was determined with various concentrations of ligand and methanol in the aqueous mobile phase at different pH values. The effect of ionic salts and type and concentration of buffer on the separation is also discussed. The results showed that a good separation was obtained at 25°C, using a mobile phase containing 0.1 mM DABTZ, 30 mM acetate buffer and 25% methanol at pH 5.5. The response was linear from 1.5×10-3 to3.3×10-8 M for Fe(III) with a detection limit of 1.1×10-8 M and 2.0×10-3 to 3.6×10-7 for Mn(II) with a detection limit of 1.2×10-7 M.
