Abstract:
The behavior of 10 arylhalosulfonamides as oxidimetric analytical reagents toward thiosemicarbazide (TSC) alone or in its metal complexes has been critically examined and general procedures for its estimation have been developed. The proposed analytical techniques are simple and reproducible. These procedures are also useful for computing the number of TSC ligands present in the complexes. The oxidation involves twelve-electron change per TSC molecule with all the oxidants. The complexes have been prepared and characterized by elemental analyses and IR spectra.
