Ak. Chhakkar et Lr. Kakkar, EXTRACTIVE-SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF PALLADIUM USING THIOSALICYLIC ACID AND HEXYLAMINE, Fresenius' journal of analytical chemistry, 347(12), 1993, pp. 483-485
A highly sensitive and selective spectrophotometric method for the det
ermination of palladium has been worked out in neutral medium utilizin
g thiosalicylic acid as a ligand. The coloured metal complex thus obta
ined is quantitatively extractable into chloroform in the presence of
hexylamine. The method is free from the interference of a large number
of metal ions including platinum metals. The ratio of metal to ligand
in the extracted species is 1:2. The standard deviation is +/- 0.002.
