Complexation of vanadium(IV) with organic reagents on the solid phase of fibrous ion exchangers according to diffuse reflectance and EPR data

Diffuse reflectance and EPR spectroscopic data are reported for the formation of vanadium complexes with the organic reagents (ORs) sulfochlorophenol S (SCP) and pyridylazoresorcinol (PAR) on the solid phase of polyacrylonitrile fiber filled with the cation exchanger KU-2 or the anion exchanger AV-17 or A-5. The effects of the order of sorption of the reaction components, sorption conditions, and the V: OR ratio on the complexation process are discussed. The characteristics of the complexes obtained on the solid phase and in solution are compares. Both M : OR = 1 : 1 and M : OR = 2 : 1 SCP complexes can form on the solid phase without involving any croups of the matrix. PAR forma a 1 : 1 complex involving groups of the A-5 matrix.
