The extraction equilibria of the ion associate of periodate with 1-(3,5-diamino-6-chloropyrazinecarboxyl) guanidine

The extraction equilibrium of the ion-associate of periodate with 1-(3,5-diamino-6-chloropyrazinecarboxyl) guanidine hydrochloride (DPG⁺Cl⁻) was investigated spectrophotometrically. The optimum conditions for the extraction of the ion associate DPG⁺·IO₄⁻ with cyclohexanone have been established. The ion association constants, β, K_D and K_ex and the molar absorpativity of the formed ion associate were determined. These values enable a convenient application of the investigated system for the extraction spectrophotometric determination of periodate ions in the aqueous media. The molar ratio of the ion associate was found to be 1:1 of periodate to the reagent DPG⁺Cl⁻ at pH 4–5.
