The extraction capability of derivatives of imidazole towards Co(II) a
nd Ni(II) has been investigated in dilute acid medium in the presence
of each of chloride, perchlorate and thiocyanate ions. The influence o
f the stereochemistry of the substituted imidazole on the extraction b
ehaviour has been investigated. Two-phase potentiometric titrations we
re employed to determine the nature of the metal species extracted int
o the organic phases. The electronic spectra of the extracted metal sp
ecies have been employed to provide information of the nature of such
species.
