Abstract
2-hydroxy-5-methylpropiophenone oxime (HMP) reacts with palladium in strongly acidic media to form a yellow water-insoluble complex. Palladium has been determined gravimetrically and interference by certain ions studied. The yellow complex is extractable into carbon tetrachloride in the pH range 1-4. The absorption maximum of the complex lies at 375 mmu, and Beer's law is obeyed in the range 0-15 ppm of palladium. The sensitivity is 0.22 mug Pd/cm(2) for log I(0)/I = 0.001. The effect of a number of foreign ions has been studied and several can be tolerated to an appreciable extent. The ratio of metal: ligand in the complex is 1:2.
