2-Mercapto-N-2-naphthylacetamide (thionalide) on silica gel is used for rapid preconcentration of μg l^?1 levels of palladium(II) from aqueous solution, followed by atomic absorption spectrometric measurement. In batch experiments, palladium was quantitatively retained on the gel from solutions 5 M in acid to pH 8; equilibrium was achieved within 10 s. The chelating capacity of the gel was 7.5 μmol Pd g^?1 at pH < 4. The effect of flow rate on retention was studied. Palladium retained on the column was completely eluted with 20 ml of 0.2 M thiourea in 0.1 M hydrochloric acid. The palladium concentration in sea water is shown to be < 0.3 μg l^?1.     

Spectrophotometric Determination of Palladium(II) with n-Hydroxy-N,N-Diphenylbenzamidine and 1 -(2-Pyridylazo)-2-Naphthol

A spectrophotometric method to determine palladium(II) at trace levels is based on the extraction of palladium(II) as a binary complex with N-hydroxy-N,N′-diphenylbenzamidine (HDPBA) in chloroform at pH 5.0 ± 0.2. The complex shows maximum absorbance at 400 nm with molar absorptivity 6.4 × 10³ L mol^?1 cm^?1. The sensitivity of the Pd(II)-HDPBA complex was enhanced by the addition of l-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (PAN). The green coloured complex shows maximum absorbance at 620 nm with molar absorptivity 1.58 × 10⁴ L mol^?1 cm^?1. Sandell's sensitivity and the detection limit of the method are 0.0067 μg cm^?2and 0.1 μg Pd(II) mL^?1, respectively. Most common metal ions associated with palladium metal do not interfere. The effects of various analytical parameters on the extraction of the metal are discussed.     

Extraction-spectrophotometric determination of traces of palladium by reaction between zinc(II) dibenzyldithiocarbamate and palladium(II)/2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol

The simple and highly sensitive determination of palladium is based on the reaction between Pd(II)/5-Br-PADAP and Zn(II) DBDTC complexes in 1,2-dichloroethane or toluene at pH 9.7. At 530 nm, the molar absorptivity is about 0.8 × 10⁵ l mol ^?1 cm ^?1. Beer's law is obeyed in the concentration range 0.1–1.2 μg ml ^?1 Pd. Relative standard deviations are 2–5%. Metal ions reacting with either of the organic reagents interfere.     

Bis[2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-(N-propyl-N-sulpho propylamino)phenolato]cobaltate(III) as a counter ion for the extraction and spectrophotometric determination of long-chain quaternary ammonium salts and tertiary alkylamines in the presence of each other

The singly charged complex anion bis[2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-(N-propyl-N-sulphopropylamino)phenolato]cobaltate(III) is intensely purple-violet and is stable over the pH range 1–13. Its absorption spectrum remains the same over this pH range. At pH2, it forms extractable ion pairs with long-chain quaternary ammonium ions and protonated alkylamines. Only the quaternary ammonium ions are extracted into chloroform at pH 11, hence separate extractions allow both types to be determined. The absorbance of the organic phase is measured at 594 nm. The apparent molar absorptivity is 7.0 × 10⁴ l mol^?1 cm^?1. Calibration graphs for zephiramine, benzethonium and hexadecylpyridinium ions are linear over the range 0.1–2 × 10^?6 M. The only interference found was from anionic surfactants. The method is applied to hair and fabric conditioners.

Zero-Crossing Derivative Spectrophotometric Determination of Mercury(II) And Palladium(II) with 5-(3,4-Methoxyhydroxyphenylmethylene)-2-thioxo-1-3-thiazolidine and Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide

Abstract

A method is proposed for the simultaneous determination of mercury(II) and palladium(II) by first-derivative spectrophotometry based on the absorption spectra of their complexes with 5-(3,4-Methoxyhydroxyphenylmethylene)-2-thioxo-1,3-thiazolidine [5-(3,4-methoxyhydroxybenzylidene) rhodanine]. Zero-crossing measurement technique is found suitable for the measurement of the first-derivative value at the specified wavelengths. Mercury(II) (0.4-1.4 μg ml^?1) and palladium(II) (0.08 - 1.8 μg ml^?1) in different ratios have been determined simultaneously. A critical evaluation of the proposed method is performed by statistical analysis of the experimental data.     

Adsorption voltammetry of the vanadium-2-(5′-bromo-2′-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol (5-Br-PADAP) system

The behaviour of the vanadium(V) complex with 5-Br-PADAP at a mercury electrode was investigated in HOAcNaOAc. The adsorption phenomena were observed by linear-sweep voltammetry. The mechanism of the electrode reaction was found to be the irreversible reduction of the V(V) in the complex adsorbed on the surface of the electrode to the V(IV) complex with 5-Br-PADAP. In 0.02 mol l^?1 HOAc-0.012 mol l^?1 NaOAc (pH 4.5) and 1 × 10^?6 mol l^?1 5-Br-PADAP, the detection limits of linear-sweep adsorption voltammetry and 1.5th-order derivative adsorption voltammetry are 5 × 10^?10 and 2.5 × 10^?11 mol l^?1 , respectively. The method was applied to samples of ore (Geological Deposit).     

Analysis of Sub-Microgram Levels of Palladium (II) in Environmental Samples by Selective Extraction and Spectrophotometric Determination with N-p-Methoxyphenyl-2-Furylacrylohydroxamic Acid and 5-(Diethylamino)-2-(2-Pyridylazo) Phenol

Abstract

Nine new hydroxamic acids in conjunction with four pyridylazo reagents were explored for extractive separation and spectrophotometric determination of palladium in environmental samples. It was found that maximum sensitivity and selectivity was achieved by employing N-p-methoxyphenyl-2-furylacrylohydroxamic acid (MFHA) and 5-(diethylamino)-2-(2-pyridylazo) phenol (DEPAP). Palladium was first selectively extracted with MFHA in isoamyl alcohol at pH 2.7-3.5 and the extract was equilibrated with a mixture of 5 M HCl and 10^{? 3} M solution of DEPAP in ethanol. The resulting intensely green ternary complex was measured at 560 nm (σ 5.1 × 10⁴ l mole^?1 cm^?1). The extraction system is suitable for enrichment of palladium over 15 times without loss in recovery and enables determination of palladium at levels as low as 10^?4 ppm (0.1 ppb). The method tolerates the presence of a large number of diverse ions normally associated with palladium, including platinum metals, and was employed for the determination of palladium in standard catalysts, biological materials, and freshwaters.     

Differential preconcentration of arsenic(III) and arsenic(V) with thionalide loaded on silica gel

2-Mercapto-N-2-naphtylacetamide (thionalide) on silica gel is used for differential preconcentration of μg l^?1 levels of arsenic(III) and arsenic(V) from aqueous solution. In batch experiments, arsenic(III) was quantitatively retained on the gel from solutions of pH 6.5–8.5, but arsenic(V) and organic arsenic compounds were not retained. The chelating capacity of the gel was 5.6 μmol g^?1 As(III) at pH 7.0. Arsenic retained on teh column was completely eluted with 25 ml of 0.01 M sodium borate in 0.01 M sodium hydroxide containing 10 mg l^?1 iodine (pH 10). The arsenic was determined by silver diethyldithiocarbamate spectrophotometry. Arsenic(V) was subsequently determined after reduction to arsenic(III) with sulphite and iodide. Arsenic(III) and arsenic(V) in sea water are shown to be < 0.12 and 1.6 μg l^?1, respectively.

Abstract

Hafnium(IV) reacts with 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol in the pH range 3.3–11.0 to yield a sparingly soluble red-coloured chelate that can be dissolved with Triton X-100. Effect of initial pH of metal ion and order of addition of reagents was studied in detail. The 1:3 complex adheres to Beer's law over the concentration range 0.02–1.12 μg/ml of Hf(IV), has a molar absorptivity 1.33x10⁵ 1 mol^?1cm^?1, Sandell sensitivity 1.3 ng cm^?2, formation constant (log K) 11.94 and the method had a relative standard deviation of ± 1.5%. Effect of 60 diverse ions on the determination of hafnium(IV) was studied. This fairly selective method is the most sensitive so far reported for the spectrophotometric determination of hafnium(IV).

Syntheses and structures of iron carbonyl complexes derived from N-(5-methyl-2-thienylmethylidene)-2-thiolethylamine and N-(6-methyl-2-pyridylmethylidene)-2-thiolethylamine

The reaction of N-(5-methyl-2-thienylmethylidene)-2-thiolethylamine (1) with Fe₂(CO)₉ in refluxing acetonitrile yielded di-(μ₃-thia)nonacarbonyltriiron (2), μ-[N-(5-methyl-2-thienylmethyl)-η¹:η¹(N);η¹:η¹(S)-2-thiolatoethylamido]hexacarbonyldiiron (3), and N-(5-methyl-2-thienylmethylidene)amine (4). If the reaction was carried out at 45 °C, di-μ-[N-(5-methyl-2-thienylmethylidene)-η¹(N);η¹(S)-2-thiolethylamino]-μ-carbonyl-tetracarbonyldiiron (5) and trace amount of 4 were obtained. Stirring 5 in refluxing acetonitrile led to the thermal decomposition of 5, and ligand 1 was recovered quantitatively. However, in the presence of excess amount of Fe₂(CO)₉ in refluxing acetonitrile, complex 5 was converted into 2-4. On the other hand, the reaction of N-(6-methyl-2-pyridylmethylidene)-2-thiolethylamine (6) with Fe₂(CO)₉ in refluxing acetonitrile produced 2, μ-[N-(6-methyl-2-pyridylmethyl)-η¹ (N_py);η¹:η¹(N); η¹:η¹(S)-2-thiolatoethylamido]pentacarbonyldiiron (7), and μ-[N-(6-methyl-2-pyridylmethylidene)-η²(C,N);η¹:η¹(S)-2- thiolethylamino]hexacarbonyldiiron (8). Reactions of both complex 7 and 8 with NOBF₄ gave μ-[(6-methyl-2-pyridylmethyl)-η¹(N_py);η¹:η¹(N);η¹:η¹(S)-2-thiolatoethylamido](acetonitrile)tricarbonylnitrosyldiiron (9). These reaction products were well characterized spectrally. The molecular structures of complexes 3, 7-9 have been determined by means of X-ray diffraction. Intramolecular 1,5-hydrogen shift from the thiol to the methine carbon was observed in complexes 3, 7, and 9.

Preconcentration and Spectrophotometric Determination of Chromium (VI) and Total Chromium in Drinking Water by the Sorption of Chromium Diphenylcarbazone with Surfactant Coated Alumina

Abstract

A simple and inexpensive method for determining chromium (VI) in drinking water by spectrophotometry after preconcentration with sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) coated alumina column is described. Chromium(VI) is reacted with diphenylcarbazide (DPC) and the Cr-DPC complex is quantitatively adsorbed onto a SDS coated alumina column from 800 ml of sample solution. The complex is then eluted with a 8 ml mixture of methanol, acetone and hydrochloric acid and determined by spectrophotometry. Total chromium can be determined after oxidation of chromium (III) to chromium (VI) by KMnO₄. The relative standard deviation (10 replicate analyses) at the 10 μg l^?1 of chromium (VI) and 10 μg l^?1 of total chromium were 3.5% and 3.4% and corresponding limits of detection (based on 3 σ) were 0.040 μg l^?1 and 0.033 μg l^?1, respectively.     

Preconcentration of silver(I), gold(III) and palladium(II) in sea water with p-dimethylaminobenzylidenerhodanine supported on silica gel

A water-insoluble chelating material, p-dimethylaminobenzylidenerhodanine on silica gel (DMABR—SG) is described for preconcentration of trace amounts of silver(I), gold(III) and palladium(II) from water samples. Radioactive tracers (^110mAg and ¹⁹⁵Au) were used to study the behavior of silver and gold; palladium was monitored spectrophotometrically as its 1-(2-pyridylazo)naphthol complex in chloroform. In batch experiments, silver was quantitatively retained on the DMABR—SG at acidities ranging from 1.7 M to pH 5, and gold from 3 M to pH 5; equilibrium was achieved within 1 min for both elements. From sea water, silver ion was completely retained at pH 1.0–6.5 and gold ion at pH 1.0–3.5. In the case of palladium, shaking for about 20 min was required for quantitative retention at pH 1.0–5.0 for aqueous solution and at pH 1.0–7.0 for sea water. The chelating capacity of the DMABR—SG was 23 μmol Ag, 11 μmol Au and 11 μmol Pd per g. Quantitative recovery of silver and gold on DMABR—SG columns from sea water was achieved at higher flow rates (1–2 l h^-1 and 2–3 l h^-1, respectively) than with other chelating resins, e.g., Chelex 100, palladium required slower flow rate (150 ml h^-1). Silver retained on the DMABR—SG column was completely eluted with 20 ml of 2.5% sodium thiosulfate solution but palladium remained on the column. Silver, gold and palladium were quantitatively eluted with 20 ml of 0.1% thiourea in 0.1 M hydrochloric acid.

Optimum experimental conditions include 0.005 mol 1^?1 NH₃NH₄Cl, 2 × 10^?7 mol 1^?1 5-Br-PADAP and a preconcentration potential of ?0.40 V (vs. SCE). Under these conditions, the detection limit and the linear range are 2 × 10^?9 and 6.7 × 10^?9?1.7 × 10^?7 mol 1^?1, respectively. The relative standard error of the method is 1.5% for 6.7 × 10^?8 mol 1^?1 Fe(III). The method was applied to samples of microwave digested food.
