title: Use of basic dyes in the determination of anions, particularly as a means of determining antimony, thallium, and gallium.
abstract: The use of xanthene, triphenylmethane and other basic dye cations as reagents for the determination of anions is reviewed. Elements and anions determined include Sb, Tl, Ga, Au, Te, In, Zn, Ta, Hg, Re, Sn, U, Os, B, Cr, Ag, ClO(4)(-), PO(4)(-), SO(4)(2-) and NO(3)(-). Difficulties encountered in developing satisfactory procedures involving basic dyes are discussed. Procedures for the purification and analysis of basic dye samples are outlined.
