A. Kumar et al., SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF VANADIUM(V) BY ADSORPTION OF ITS N-P-BROMOPHENYL THIOBENZOHYDROXAMIC ACID COMPLEX ON MICRO CRYSTALLINE NAPHTHALENE, Revue Roumaine de Chimie, 43(1), 1998, pp. 3-5
The spectrophotometric determination of vanadium(V) with N-p-bromophen
yl thiobenzohydroxamic acid (BPTBHA) is described. A very stable water
insoluble complex of vanadium(V) formed with BPTBHA has been adsorbed
on micro crystalline naphthalene from the aqueous solution. The napht
halene mixture is dissolved in DMF and vanadium(V) has been estimated
by absorbance, measurements at 405 nn. Its absorption obeys Beer's law
over the range of 7-150 mu g of vanadium(V) in 10 mL of DMF. The mola
r absorptivity is found to be 2.6 x 10(4) L.mol(-1) cm(-1), the sensit
ivity of vanadium(V) being 0.013 mu g cm(-2) for the absorbance of 0.0
01.
