The extraction of ionic associates of nickel and cobalt(II) with nitrosooap
hthols and basic dyes has been studied. The organic complexes of nickel and
cobalt(II) with nitrosonaphthols are shown to be extracted from alkaline m
ixtures by low-polarity solvents in the form of ionic associates with basic
dyes. The composition and basic spectrophotometric characteristics of extr
acted compounds and optimal conditions of their preparation have been estab
lished. The method for determining Ni-II and Co-II in waters has been worke
d out.
