A rapid, highly sensitive and selective fluorogenic method for the determination of traces of nitrite is described. It is based on the reaction of weakly fluorescent 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-8-(3,4-diaminophenyl)-difluoroboradiaza-s-indacence (DAMBO) and nitrite in acidic aqueous solution to give 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-8-(5-benzotriazolyl)-difluoroboradiaza-s-indacene (DAMBO-T), which is highly fluorescent. The optimum reaction conditions and other analytical parameters are investigated to enhance the sensitivity of the method. The fluorescence enhancement at 507 nm is linearly related to the concentration of nitrite in the range of 6.0 x 10(-9)-5.0 x 10(-7) mol L-1 with a correlation coefficient of R = 0.9995 (n = 10) and a detection limit of 1.0 x 10(-10) mol L-1. The R.S.D. is 1.12% (n = 10). The method is applied to the determination of nitrite in human saliva samples with the recoveries of 96.24-105.30%.
