Abstract:
Perchlorate complexes of vanadium(IV), iron(III), dysprosium, yttrium, copper(II) and nickel with the organic ligands dimethyl sulphoxide, antipyrine, 4-aminoantipyrine, 4-(2-hydroxynaphthyl)-azoantipyrine, and 4-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)azoantipyrine have been prepared and analysed for their metal content after decomposition by a non-explosive pyrolytic technique, viz. heating with ammonium chloride. The results obtained agree with those obtained by the standard methods. This pyrolytic technique is found to be very convenient, rapid and accurate.
