K. Malathi et M. Subbaiyan, SIMULTANEOUS DETERMINATION OF RU(III) AND RH(III) USING OCTADECYLDITHIOCARBAMATE BY FIRST-DERIVATIVE SPECTROPHOTOMETRY, Talanta, 42(10), 1995, pp. 1487-1491
A first-derivative spectrophotometric method is described for the simu
ltaneous determination of Ru(III) and Rh(III) using octadecyl dithioca
rbamate. The complexes are insoluble in water, but easily extractable
into chloroform. Quantitative determination of Ru(III) and Rh(III) is
possible in the ranges 0.5-6.0 mu g ml(-1) and 1.0-10.0 mu g ml(-1) re
spectively, with a standard deviation of +/-0.10. A statistical evalua
tion of the experimental results is reported.
