Tropoloae as a specific reagent for the determination of vanadium(V)
Abstract:
The blue colour developed on interaction of vanadium(V) with tropolone m 5.5-7.0N acid can be extracted into chloroform. The complex has an absorption maximum at 590 nm. Colour development is instantaneous and the extracted species is stable for 72 hr. Beer's law is followed in the range 1.02-14.25 ppm of vanadium. The molar absorptivity is 4.63 x 10(3)l.mole(-1).cm(-1). Most anions do not interfere. Of the 37 cations examined, only Ti(III), Ru(III), Pt(IV), Ir(IV), Mn(II), Ta(V) and Ce(III) were found to interfere. The interference due to these cations has been removed by masking them with EDTA.
