title: Extraction and micro-determination of manganese(II) with oxine and aliquat 336.
abstract: A sensitive and selective method has been developed for the micro-determination of Mn(II) by the selective extraction of the yellow Mn(II)-8-hydroxyquinolinate complex with a liquid ion-exchanger, Aliquat 336, from basic medium. The molar absorptivity of the complex is 2.2 x 10(4)1.mole(-1).cm(-1) at 420 nm and the colour system obeys Beer's law in the range 0.1-3.5 ppm Mn(II) in the final solution. The composition and stability of the complex are discussed. Potential interferents have been examined and the method is applied to analysis of standard steel and bronze samples.
