Abstract
Abstract 2-[2-(3,5-Dibrornopyridyl)azo]-5-dimethyIam;nobenzoic acid (3,5-diBr-PAMB) has been synthesized and its potential for the spectrophotometric determination of metals studied. It reacts sensitively with nickel, cobalt, iron and copper, and is particularly useful for nickel. The apparent molar absorptivity in chloroform is 1.50 × 10 5 l mol -1 cm -1 and the Sandell sensitivity is 0.4 ng Ni cm -2 . Nickel reacts with 3.5-diBr-PAMB at pH 4–10; at pH 4–7 the complex can be extracted into chloroform to give a stable purple solution. The optimal calibration range is 0.04–0.4 ppm Ni. Only Cu, Co, Fe, Pd and V interfere seriously but Pd, Cu and V can be masked by thiourea.
