Spectrophotometric determination of palladium with 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol

Summary A simple photometric method for the determination of palladium has been worked out, employing pyridylazo-resorcinol (PAR) as a complexing ligand for the metal ion. The coloured species is extractable into chloroform in the presence of diethylamine, the absorbance of which is measured at 535 nm. The method is free from the interference of a large number of elements particularly the other platinum metals. It obeys Beer's law in the range of 0–3 g Pd/ml with Sandell's sensitivity of 0.0034 g Pd cm^–2. The ratio of metal to ligand in the complex is found to be 1:1. Analysis of various samples has been carried out with satisfactory and reproducible results (standard deviation ±0.002).

Relative stabilities of metal complexes of 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol and 4-(2-thiazolylazo)resorcinol

The stability constants of 1:1 complexes of 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol (PAR) and 4-(2-thiazolylazo)resorcinol (TAR) with Mn(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) have been determined spectrophotometrically at μ = 0.1 and 25°C.

Complex formation (1:1) between lanthanides(III) and 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol (PAR or H₂R) has been studied by spectrophotometry. The method is based on indirect estimation of the protonated (MHR) and the normal (MR) complexes by measuring the absorbance at the peak for the ligand, which decreases with increasing metal concentration at a constant pH.

The extraction-spectrophotometric determination of chromium(III) with 4-(2-pyridylazo)-resorcinol

The extraction-spectrophotometric determination of chromium(III) with 4-(2-pyridylazo)-resorcinol (PAR) is described. PAR(H₂R) forms a 1:3 complex with chromium(III) in a boiling acetate buffer solution at pH 5.

If EDTA is added as a masking agent after the Cr(HR)₃ has been formed, only iron, cobalt and nickel interfere seriously, and the method can be made specific for chromium by a preliminary extraction of these metals with cupferron. The sensitivity of the method is seven times higher than that of the diphenylcarbazide method.
