Ap. Argekar et Ak. Shetty, EXTRACTION AND SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF COPPER(II) WITH BIS(2,4,4-TRIMETHYLPENTYL)DITHIOPHOSPHINIC ACID, Analytical sciences, 12(2), 1996, pp. 255-258
Cyanex 301 [bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)dithiophosphinic acid] has been
proposed as a selective reagent for the extractive spectrophotometric
determination of copper. The molar absorptivity of Cu(II)-Cyanex 301 c
omplex in toluene is 1.41X10(4) l mol(-1) cm(-1) at 440 nm. The method
has been applied for the determination of copper in pharmaceutical fo
rmulations, human hair and foodstuffs.
