Abstract:
This work introduces two new thiazolylazo dyes 1-[(5-benzyl-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)diazenyl]naphthalene-2-ol (BnTAN) and 1-[5-(4-sulfonamidobenzyl-4-methyl-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)diazenyl]naphthalen-2-ol (SABnMeTAN) as possible reagents for spectrophotometric determination of copper(ii) in water samples in the form of a chelate complex. The substances were synthesized for the first time and characterized using the NMR technique. The main characteristics of ligands, such as molar absorption coefficients and protonation constants, were evaluated spectrophotometrically. A non-extractive sequential injection spectrophotometric method for the determination of copper(ii) in the presence of Triton X-100 was developed. The linear range of the calibration plot was observed from 0.063 to 1.270 mg L-1 and the detection limit was 0.044 mg L-1. The SIA method was compared with the respective manual method and applied for the determination of copper(ii) in tap and river water.

Effects of EDTA on End-Point Detection Methods
In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a...

EDTA: Direct, Back-, and Displacement Titration
Direct titration involves buffering the metal ion solution to the desired pH and directly titrating with standard EDTA until the endpoint. The optimum pH ensures a large conditional formation constant of metal−EDTA and visibility of the free indicator color in the solution. In addition, auxiliary complexing reagents are used to prevent the precipitation of metal hydroxides...
