An. Shetty et Rv. Gadag, SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF PALLADIUM(II) USING 4-(DIMETHYLAMINO)BENZALDEHYDE THIOSEMICARBAZONE, Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Japan, 66(9), 1993, pp. 2536-2540
A simple, rapid, and selective spectrophotometric method is proposed f
or the determination of palladium-(II), using 4-(dimethylamino)benzald
ehyde thiosemicarbazone (DMABT) as a spectrophotometric reagent. The r
eagent forms a 1:2 complex (Pd: Reagent) with Pd(II) in the pH range 2
.2-3.6. The complex is soluble in aqueous solution containing 20% acet
one and 30% ethanol by volume. Beer's law is valid upto 2.3 ppm of pal
ladium. The molar absorptivity is 4.59x10(4) dm3 mol-1 cm-1 and Sandel
l's sensitivity 2.33x10(-3) mug cm-2. The method tolerates large numbe
r of cations and anions.
