Abstract
Abstract Three sulfonated 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthols and six sulfonated 2-(2-pyridylazo)-1-naphthols were synthesized, and their application to the spectrophotometric determination of metals was studied. The acidity constants of the reagents and the stability constants of the nickel chelates are reported, and the relationship between their properties and the position of the sulfonic acid group is discussed. 1-(2-Pyridylazo)-2-naphthol-6-sulfonic acid (PAN-6S) and 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol-7-sulfonic acid (PAN-7S) are sensitive and selective reagents for nickel. The determination of nickel in the presence of cobalt with PAN-6S is described. Extraction of the chelate as the ion-pair with tetraphenylarsonium ions into chloroform is suitable for the determination of 1–10 μg Ni at 570 nm; the molar absorptivity is 56 000 l mol -1 cm -1 , and interferences are easily avoided.
