A procedure has been developed for the direct fourth derivative spectrophotometric determination of tetramethyldithiocarbamate by converting it into its molybdenum complex, which is then extracted in to methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK). Beer's law is obeyed over the concentration range 24 mug mL(-1) in the final solution. The analytical sensitivity is calculated to be 0.004(d(4)A/dlambda(4)) mug(-1) mL(-1) from the slope of the calibration curve. The detection limit is 0.3 mug mL(-1) for thiram (signal to noise ratio = 2). Various parameters, such as effect of acid concentration. interference of a large number of ions in the determination of thiram have been Studied in detail. The method is sensitive. highly selective and can be used for the determination of thiram in a commercial sample, in mixtures with various dithiocarbamates (zineb. maneb, etc.) and from wheat grains.
