Cimetidine reacting with 1,5‐dichloroanthraquinone in acetone solution can produce a charge‐transfer complex that shows a strong absorption peak at 343 nm. The absorption value at 343 nm increased with cimetidine concentration in the range of 0.01–0.5 µg/mL, with regression coefficient of 0.9995 and detection limit of 0.006 µg/mL. This simple and sensitive method has been successfully applied to determine cimetidine in tablets and capsules, with average recovery of (98.47±0.92)% and (97.07±1.16)%, respectively. Furthermore, the mole ratio of the complex between cimetidine and 1,5‐dichloroanthraquinone is 2:1, and the mechanism of charge‐transfer reaction is explored.
